Toward a National Archival Finding Aid Network
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This presentation will report on outcomes from "Toward a National Archival Finding Aid Network" (NAFAN) -- a one-year (2018-2019) planning initiative convened by the CDL, with the participation of representatives from multiple regional finding aid aggregations. Many aggregators across the country struggle to find sufficient resources to update their platforms and engage with some of the most promising advances in the field. With crucial funding support provided by the IMLS under the provisions of LSTA and administered in California by the State Librarian, the NAFAN initiative proposed to explore the creation of a national archival finding aid network. The initiative provided participants opportunities to discuss and test the original premise: by pooling resources and establishing co-development partnerships, we believe we can address our individual challenges collectively, thereby extending the capabilities, breadth, and depth of existing aggregations. The presentation will highlight the action plan produced from the 2018-2019 project activities -- and will report on work currently being undertaken by the planning initiative participants to formalize and initiate work on action plan.
