We have started a pilot project this year. Our museum deals with mostly
item-level records and descriptions, but we also have manuscript
collections that need to be organized and described. We have received
funding to process four such collections and are planning a three-pronged
approach to discoverability. First, we will EAD-encode the finding aids and
host them on our website, and any other website that deems it appropriate,
or the aggregators pertaining specifically to our field or geographical
location. Second, we will have a bound copy of each finding aid deposited
in our library and catalogued in the library system, with its own call
number. Third, we will create a collection-level record in TMS and attach
the finding aid as a media file. The collection-level record will contain a
brief description of the collection and its location, and we will use the
Controlled Access Headings from the finding aid to populate the
Constituents field. We expect this to increase discoverability both
internally and on the web should we publish at some point through eMuseum
or another product.

We are presenting this project at the Association of Moving Image
Archivists conference in Savannah on October 9, and would be happy to do
the same at Collective Imagination 2015.
