ArchiveGrid
Resolution
One of the best ways to be represented is to include your collection descriptions in OCLC's WorldCat database. ArchiveGrid is largely made up of MARC records from WorldCat; if you are already contributing your MARC cataloging to WorldCat and don't see your records in ArchiveGrid, please let us know.
Otherwise, if you have finding aids in EAD, HTML or PDF format and aren't currently contributing MARC records to WorldCat, please complete the form to include your collections. Your role in getting your finding aids into ArchiveGrid is simply to give us permission harvest and use them. OCLC membership is not required to contribute your finding aids to ArchiveGrid, and there are no costs involved, beyond the time and effort on your part to provide us with a way to harvest your finding aid documents. We harvest your finding aids from a webpage you provide to us, and index them in ArchiveGrid. Any changes you make on to your finding aids, such as adding, editing, or removing finding aids, will be reflected in ArchiveGrid as your contributed data is updated.
Finding aids and MARC records are updated as part of ArchiveGrid's index maintenance, though this work is not currently carried out on a regular schedule. If you find that your contributed data needs to be updated in ArchiveGrid, please let us know.
