Today was archive mania, I loved it! First Ellie and I went over to the AHAP archives and got a demonstration from Rhonda on how to use the EAD tool. OhioLink uses a tool that allows for the creation of simple EAD finding aids. I will be using this tool a lot because my project consists of making EAD finding aids for the exhibition records.

After having this meeting I came to realize that I would have to rearrange and describe some of the materials within the exhibition files before encoding them. So, I'm gaining more experience in the basic steps in archival administration.

The selection and appraisal I have been doing over the past few days have moved into the next steps, arrangement and description! I arranged the materials according to the the predetermined standards put forth by the former intern. After the arrangement is completely done I will have to make some changes to the finding aid.
