Abstract

This article discusses three different online services providing federated access to finding aids relating to archives found in a number of repositories: the Archives Hub, Access to Archives (A2A) and Navigational Aids for the History of Science, Technology and the Environment (NAHSTE). While the scale of the services is very different, a significant similarity is the key role of Encoded Archival Description (EAD). The flexibility of EAD is clearly shown by the different ways it is used for the creation, storage, indexing, searching and presentation of finding aids online reflecting the differing needs of the contributors and users of each service involved.
