<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In addition to the Smithsonian wide
<a href="http://sova.si.edu/">SOVA</a> interface referenced by Ching-Hsien that is based on adding <dao> tags to the finding aids and pulling the associated digital content from the central DAMS, the Archives of American Art has an interface for its own website
that displays finding aids with a) linkable collection level “selected digital highlights” on the finding aid’s home page AND b) fully digitized collections that are solely accessible via links at the folder titles within the finding aid. Unlike the SI-wide
system, our interface does not use <dao> tags within the finding aid. Both of our display interfaces are based on programmed web templates in our home grown SQL database that houses both the digital files and the xml finding aids. The xml file is ingested
and the components are parsed out for display. The file directory for the digital images mirrors the container inventory in the xml finding aid, and programming links the two.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">Apologies – my enquiry isn’t strictly related to ArchiveSpace, but I was just wondering how many other organisations are looking at implementing or have implemented embedded
digital objects or thumbnails in their finding aid display? I’m aware of the work Duke have done on this, and NLA here in Australia have also done a lot of work around their display but I wondered if many other organisations were going down this path, and
what additional software is being used to support it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
