Find a link at the bottom of this email for an informative 17-minute
streaming video about public access into the holdings of some of North
America's largest archival institutions, including California State
Archives and the City of Toronto Archives, as well as some very creative
smaller sites such as Avid Center and Humanities Tennessee. 

You will follow the seamless link from their website into their public
search windows. Interesting features you will see include: 
 - The ability to mash-up historic sites with Google Maps 
 - Simple Google-type searches for novice users
 - Searches with multiple prompts for advanced users
 - Installations for small institutions as well as very large
 - EAD published with a few clicks of the mouse
 - HTML pages showing all the levels of a record group
 - Published HTML indexes into the database and available to the search
engines
 - Institutions using the software as a service and others hosting it on
their own server
 - A variety of attached content: PDFs, photographs and other formats
 - High resolution images rendered as thumbnails as well as full size
and, optionally, protected by watermarks
 - The ability to quickly request reference services by automatic email

Just go to www.eloquent-systems.com/publicarchives for entry into the
streaming video. It is a relaxing 17 minutes packed with good ideas.

Enjoy!
