The Encoded Archival Standards: Best Practice Guide is a resource that describes and provides explanations and examples of complex encodings and concepts in EAC-CPF and EAD. Created and maintained by SAA TS-EAS, the guide is intended to be a living resource that will be built on and developed over time.
From the Chicago meeting - there's a lot of confusion around how to describe additions to collections in EAD. There are elements that can almost be used to describe them (but not quite), so EAD users are improperly using elements, or have to devise a local method for encoding this information. The EAD BPG should provide clear examples of using elements like <accrurals> and recommendations for how to encode information about additions.
