EAD Elements

Encoded Archival Description has been used by the LEADERS Project to describe archival documents within their archival context. LEADERS has adapted EAD and constructed a LEADERS EAD Schema primarily to accommodate the additional TEI and MIX tag usage within the EAD <altformavail> element. The usage and adaptation of EAD is discussed in the accompanying Encoding principles document.


Navigating around the Tag Library

There are three ways in which to use the tag library.
