Tufts University (Tufts University, Special Collections and Archives)

Though archives have had a standard for more than a decade for creating and sharing collection information and inventories online, many archivists still struggle with the challenge of effectively describing and providing access to complex archival collections and digital resources. In particular, current practices often are not well suited for describing electronic records or resources such as databases and social network sites. Tufts University’s Digital Collections and Archives will explore and pilot new approaches to these challenges, using more web-native approaches to linking and sharing information.
