Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Thanks for all the responses about linking finding aids to digital objects yesterday — it was very helpful! I haven’t done much work (yet) looking to see what the patterns are. But a few people contacted me asking me to provide the results. so I have pulled out the examples into a document that’s up on Github: https://github.com/edsu/eadlinks If you don’t want your name/email listed let me know. I thought it might be helpful for anyone that wanted to follow up. //Ed

Harvard has 857 Finding Aids with links to digital content. To find them, go to http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/advancedsearch?_collection=oasis , check the checkbox for Limit to finding aids with digital content, and click the red Search button. If you then view one of the finding aids, you can click on the tab for Digital Content to see a list of all the URLs to display the content (usually image, audio, or page turned object) in your browser. - Randy -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Edward Summers Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 10:39 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDUmailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can point me at example(s) of finding aids (either EAD XML or HTML) that are linked to digital object of some kind.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, I only have a second to respond, but we have digital content available in our Finding Aids site. You can view images (microfiche style), browse thumbnails, or download a PDF. Unfortunately, we don't have a viewer for AV content at the moment, but do link out to the files when we can. We also would like to add some zoom capabilities to images (via OpenSeadragon and Loris) when we get a chance. Here's a recent addition: http://findingaids.princeton.edu/collections/MC019/c00010 Some components can have hundreds of pages, so we lazy load the thumbnails as you can see here by selecting View Images Browse Thumbnails: http://findingaids.princeton.edu/collections/AC044/c0002 We also have an Online Access facet, though it could be more visible...

Hi Ed, At NYU we have a workflow where we programatically load handles into the Archivist Toolkit using a plug-in written by Nathan Stevens.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, At Pitt we're putting digital object identifiers into Archivists' Toolkit. We're doing folder-level digitization, except in rare cases. When the resultant EAD is transformed to HTML the identifier is wrapped into an actionable URL and the size of the linked document is retrieved to incorporate into the link text (some are many MB). Presentation is currently a direct link to a PDF bundle of the folder contents, but the plan is to eventually point to an object landing page with multiple viewing / download options and richer item-level information than would appear in the finding aid container list. We're also interested in the reverse linkage - from digitized manuscripts in a more general digital collections pool back to their specific collection context. Example of current online presentation: American Left Ephemera Collection http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/f/findaid/findaid-idx?cc=asceadrgn=mainview=textdidno=US-PPiU-ais200711 On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 12:13 PM, Daron Dierkes daron.dier...@gmail.comwrote: What alternatives has your survey suggested?

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, Apologies if any of my Stanford cohorts have informed you about the Bassi Veratti Collection Site ( http://bv.stanford.edu ) we created here last year using Blacklight. You can drill down into boxes and folders of each of the Series in the Content inventory ( http://bv.stanford.edu/en/inventory ). In each folder you will find thumbnails of various items that then link to a full description and digital image. We are hosting the EAD on GitHub if you're interested in looking at the original XML ( https://github.com/sul-dlss/bassi-ead-xml ). I would be more than happy to explain more about the background if it's useful.
