Hello Joshua,
I recommend the 'EAD2HTML Transforming Your Finding Aids via XSLT' online workshop, taught by Bill Walker at Amigos Library Services. I took it last year, and I thought it was an informative and very engaging hands-on introduction to EAD and XSLT: EAD2HTML: Transforming your Finding Aids with XSL | Amigos Library Services

While I was looking up the link for the workshop, I saw that Amigo is also offering a basics class on EAD3: EAD3: the Basics | Amigos Library Services

Subject: EAD newbies looking for help getting started
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?
