(WHS Archives) EAD -- Appendix E. Quick Reference to EAD Cookbook 2002 Clip Library
Below is a brief guide to the clips available in the EAD Cookbook 2002 Clip Library (as customized by WHS EAD project staff). The clip library should cover most of the tags you need to markup a finding aid according to current WHS practices. The purpose of the clips is to reduce the amount of keying required to markup a finding aid, thus speeding up the markup process and reducing the number of typos introduced by manual keying. This cookbook is only to be used when ArchiveSpace is not a viable option.
Appendix E. Quick Reference to EAD Cookbook 2002 Clip Library
Since the clip library only includes the most common tags or combinations of tags, you will need to manually enter less common tags. If you find that there is a tag or sequence of tags that you use frequently or that would aid you in marking up a very long finding aid, let the EAD Archivist know and she might be able to create a custom clip for you.
Key to Using Clip
Symbols:
+ Wraps designated
tags around highlighted text
! Runs a macro or opens a new
window/box
•
Inserts
designated text
Note: Ignore
</c> tags at the end of the clips even if you recognize them as being
nested incorrectly; these will be automatically fixed by the Final Clean-Up
clip at the very end of the markup process.

Pre Clean-up |
Clip used after the template has generated an EAD document, but
before the contents list is added. The clip deletes unused fields from the
narrative, adds a note for restricted materials, and for collections with
multiple parts. |
See Appendix F, Part 3 |
||
|
Final Clean-up |
Clip used towards the end of the markup process (see Markup
Procedures for details on use). The clip fixes the nesting of the levels in
the contents list, deletes the "file" attribute from the <c>
tags, puts the <unittitle> and <unitdate> tags in correct order,
and puts paragraph breaks between each tag (to make the long strings
generated by Auto Box List more readable). |
See Appendix F, Part 4 |

Note: Clips appearing at the bottom of the EAD Notebook 2002 Clip Library (beginning with the section labeled "Reference" and continuing until the end of the library) contain important administrative information and in some cases are essential for the other clips to function. Do not alter, move, or delete these clips without consulting the BIS Archivist.
