EAD3 brings changes small and large to Encoded Archival Description. After a decade since the previous revision, EAD3 attempts to balance competing priorities of simplifying when possible, reconciling with EAC-CPF when prudent, better supporting the capture and exchange of structured data when needed, and respecting existing EAD community practice when necessary. The webinar will review the significant changes in EAD3, covering elements and attribute that have been modified from EAD 2002, adapted form EAC-CPF, and added new.

Upon completion of this course, you will:

• Describe the new features of EAD3.
• Recognize the changes made to existing features of EAD 2002.
• Give examples of key features of EAD3.
• Assess the advantages of migrating to EAD3.
