<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Patti,<br><br></div>Even if you need to act before the built-in Aspace solutions are ready, you definitely have options. It can be as straightforward as transforming your exported EAD with XSLT to generate HTML and placing it in a public directory with index on your library's website. SAA's EAD Roundtable has links to help with transformations and sample stylesheets here: <a href="http://www2.archivists.org/groups/encoded-archival-description-ead-roundtable/resources-maintained-by-eadrt">http://www2.archivists.org/groups/encoded-archival-description-ead-roundtable/resources-maintained-by-eadrt</a> I expect any XSLT you find will need tweaking, but you can reach out to folks in the EAD and tech communities if you run into difficulty.<br>
<br></div>While it still involves creating/modifying an appropriate stylesheet, you can also choose a more robust in-house option. As part of our transition to ArchivesSpace, we will also be uploading our EAD finding aids into a local implementation of XTF. It's which is what powers the Online Archive of California (and many others). Links to these implementations are here: <a href="http://xtf.cdlib.org/xtf/">http://xtf.cdlib.org/xtf/</a><br>

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Location of finding aids<br>
<br>
Hi, all-<br>
<br>
We're just getting started with ArchivesSpace and have no legacy finding
aids-In fact, no finding aids at all, and we're trying to figure out
how to turn an EAD encoded document into a finding aid. When you export
your resource as an EAD document, where does it go (at your
institution) and how do you create access to it as a finding aid?<br>
<br>
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Patti<br>
