Social Networks and Archival Context Project
The Social Networks and Archival Context Project (SNAC) sounds interesting.
Leveraging the new standard Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF), the SNAC Project will use digital technology to ?unlock? descriptions of people from finding aids and link them together in exciting new ways. We will:
- Create efficient open-source tools that allow archivists to separate the process of describing people from that of records.
- Create a prototype integrated historical resource and access system that will link descriptions of people to one another and to descriptions of resources in archives, libraries and museums; online biographical and historical databases; and other diverse resources.
