Ivey Glendon
Deputy Director, Social Networks and Archival Context Cooperative
University of Virginia
The Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC) Cooperative is an archival identity management program that began in 2010; with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the SNAC Cooperative has matured into an operational program focused on cooperatively maintaining archival identity management data and providing a web-based discovery service through the website snaccooperative.org. This project update will: demonstrate SNAC’s research and editing interfaces, describe program accomplishments in the areas of technology, standards development, training, and outreach, and will outline future directions for a membership and business model.
