Call for Volunteers to Join TS-EAS

The Technical Subcommittee for Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS) is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of EAD and EAC-CPF as well as the development of future companion standards, such as Encoded Archival Context for Functions.

We are seeking self-nominations from the archival community to join TS-EAS. We are seeking to fill one international and two SAA based vacancies in TS-EAS during the fall of 2024. We seek new members through open calls and will evaluate all applications.

Anyone outside of the United States who has experience working with or implementing archival encoding standards is encouraged to apply as an international member.

Next year, the committee will be focused on the following major areas of work:

• Continue the major revision of EAD;
• Start the maintenance cycle for EAC-CPF after its revision;
• Continue the work of developing a new encoding standard for archival functions;
• Continue our outreach and education campaign.

To volunteer to assist us with these projects, please fill out the form at https://app.smarterselect.com/programs/76215-Society-Of-American-Archivists by December 15, 2024. Appointments will be made for three-year terms beginning in August 2025.
