Re: Web Archival Resource Directories



The Reuther Library is pleased to announce the unveiling of a Web Archival Resource Directory (WARD) for the records of the American Federation of Teachers.  This pilot is a simple attempt to build from Finding Aids into a new genre for the Web.  Our WARDS are designed for a records management environment with multiple collections, a developing history, and ongoing deposits (the ?Union Access Only? for accession and shipment controls is still under development through a FileMakerPro DBMS). We also wanted to be able to feature significant images ( a slide show will be incorporated shortly), online displays,  and oral history files.  Because of the Reuther?s ties to international unions, the models include a training section for outreach to their local unions and retirees.  Originally mounted for Labor Day 2001, we hope that the pilot is now ready for comment and insights. The address is http://www.reuther.wayne.edu/ward/aft/aft.html
