<Title>New archival records and finding aids now available online</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The Albin O. Kuhn Library &amp; Gallery is excited to announce the release of new and updated records for the Library’s archival collections, a major milestone in providing easier searching of the holdings. The 16-month-long project creates collection-level records and implements an Encoded Archival Description (EAD-XML) compliant workflow for the collections. <br><br>As of January 2016, Library staff have successfully updated over 100 finding aids and collection-level records, and created new collection-level records for nearly 50 previously-undescribed archival collections. A workflow was created to convert records to both EAD-XML and MARC-XML formats using national descriptive standards. These records will be made available in multiple access systems including the Library Catalog, the Special Collections Search (PastPerfect Online), and through union catalogs such as OCLC’s ArchiveGrid and the National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Finding Aids Consortium. The updated records will facilitate access to UMBC’s archival collections and help to more effectively reach the researchers, scholars, students, and community members that are seeking the unique materials held at UMBC.<br><br><img src="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/img/FAscreenshot.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><br><em>Screenshot of the new online finding aid for the <a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/findingaids/coll008.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">American Society of Cell Biology records</a>, Collection 8. </em><br><br>Newly-described collections contain a wide range of materials, including: <br><ul><li>Several collections of <a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/umbc.php#fac" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC faculty papers</a> in the University Archives </li><li>The <a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/findingaids/coll117.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Baltimore Sun photographs collection</a>, featuring approximately 750,000 photographs produced for the Baltimore Sun and Evening Sun between the 1930s to 1990s</li><li>Several additions to the <a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/sciencefiction#c4" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Science Fiction Manuscripts collection</a>, including manuscripts of works from notable authors including Isaac Asimov and Roger Zelazny </li></ul><br>These new and updated collections are now searchable from the <a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Special Collections page</a> on the Library’s redesigned website, as well as through the Library Catalog.
