Many collections are waiting for their day in the spotlight. Archival service has many branches – from initial surveying, to document preparation, to description, and ongoing maintenance, the amount of work required to get the process so much as started can feel gargantuan. Backstage offers a solution that pairs our time-honored tradition of collaboration alongside our partner institutions with agile and efficient archiving workflows.
We have the solution for archives with seemingly unbearable backlogs, untouched collections of materials, collections that need updated metadata, and anything in between. Any collection can go from being a pile of papers, folders, and boxes to an organized collection that gives both the holder and users unmatched intellectual access.
Our Archival Services team specializes in flexibility and while you determine what level of processing is best – be that a very detailed item level processing plan, a mid-range folder level approach, or a macro-focused box level arrangement – you’ll have the opportunity to pick from a number of sub-services.
Have your finding aids become outdated? Has your collection grown since its initial processing to include new unprocessed materials? Or does your collection need a new, original finding aid made from scratch?
At a minimum we adhere to DACS standards and are able to encode finding aids in EAD. There is plenty of customization available beyond our usually recommended inclusions of title, collections information, languages, dates, extent, revision statements, and subjects.
