I was delighted to see that the Institute of Museum and Library Services has just awarded a National Leadership Grant to a group of collaborators lead by the California Digital Library to advance a program of work towards a National Findings Aids Network, building on a report and strategic plan that I shared with this list earlier. I was particularly pleased to see range of partners playing key roles in this effort, which promises to ensure that it will be well-integrated with other related efforts such as SNAC. I’ll try to ensure that the CNI community gets regular updates on this important work.
There’s a press release, which includes links to the foundational report and strategic plan, at
