The Project
Edinburgh University Library Special Collections Division
holds papers of John Baillie and the Baillie family. This project
aims to open up access to this collection to a wide readership.
Building on development work around Encoded Archival Description (EAD)
and delivery over the World Wide Web established by the likes of
the NAHSTE project, it
aims to create a fully searchable and indexed online finding
aid.
