Do you need to make any updates to your finding aids, such as replacements, additions, or URL changes? Here are some guidelines to help maintain stable URLs, so that users are able to continue to discover your resources as your collections evolve.
Edit, Update, or Replace Published Finding Aids
EAD and PDF collection guides can be edited, updated, or replaced on a "self serve" basis through the OAC Dashboard, as described below:
- Submitting EAD Finding Aids (see "Update and Replace Published EAD Files")
- Submitting Supplemental PDF Finding Aids (see "Update and Replace Published Supplemental PDF Files")
You do not need to retain the same filenames for replacement files.
Replacing RecordEXPRESS Finding Aids with EAD Files
If you would like to replace a RecordEXPRESS finding aid with a new EAD record, please review these recommendations.
Removing Finding Aids from Publication
To remove EAD, MARC21, and/or supplemental PDF files from publication in the OAC site, contact us and supply the URL(s) to the specific entries in the OAC Dashboard, under "Manage Collection Guides".
