Overview of EAD Tag Usage in Finding Aids: Insights from the SAA Forum

This report presents a comprehensive analysis of Electronic Archival Description (EAD) tag usage based on data gathered from 1,136 finding aids across 108 repositories. The mean file size is 273.22 KB, with a median of 50 KB and a mode of 11 KB. The study delves into the hierarchical organization of archival descriptions, examining the @level attributes and elements within the <archdesc> and <dsc> tags. The findings include insights into digital archival objects and related encoding attributes, providing valuable benchmarks for archivists and researchers.
