The SAA TS-EAS Handbook

Introduction

This handbook documents the procedures that have been established for the Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS). It provides information and links to relevant SAA policies and procedures, as well as establishing the areas of responsibility for achieving the work embodied in the subcommittee's charge. To achieve this TS EAS works in sub teams. The sub teams are described here.

All members are found in the roster.

The handbook is intended to be a dynamic document that will be maintained by the co-chairs and secretary with input from committee members. Committee members will be asked to review the handbook on a regular basis to make sure that it reflects current practice and suggest any changes.
