Designed to streamline workflows, standardize
archival information, and ingest and export EAD
finding aids, the Archivists’ Toolkit (AT) was introduced
at New Orleans 2005 and beta tested
by archival institutions from August to October
2006. The speakers discuss testers’ first-hand
experiences; advantages and drawbacks of the
AT; customizing and adapting it to local practices;
and implementation issues. Join them for
a project update, summary of future objectives,
and lively exchange of ideas with attendees.
