Hi all,

We are about to embark on a first-time project encoding some of our special
collections pathfinders in EAD format. The staff involved have no
experience with EAD and minimal experience with XML at all. Does anyone
know of any good learning/training materials, whether book, video, online
course, etc.?

I am also interested in seeing how libraries actually display this
information to the user. Do people just use XSLT stylesheets to transform
the EAD documents into human-readable web pages? How/where do you index the
EAD files?
