Issue
Our team discovered that serving up printable HTML guides for very large, nested files at the traffic rate generated by the AI bots was the primary source of the site performance issues experienced at launch, so we are temporarily linking to stored static HTML pages from the legacy OAC site for those specific finding aids.
As of August 8, 2025, this applies to HTML guides for finding aids with over 300 <c0#> components. These static HTML pages served by the legacy OAC site will not include any new data submitted after June 30, 2025, as they are limited to displaying finding aid data submitted through the legacy OAC system.
As of May 2026, we have completed testing of a new process for generating printable views for finding aids in our OAC staging environment, so that they are readily generated for any and all new or updated finding aids. Throughout May, we will be deploying the new process. We also using this opportunity to include some formatting modifications to the printable guide, to more clearly delineate component hierarchies.
Curious about our progress? Take a look at our work-in-progress overview page to check the status.
