Appraisal and Processing of the Ric Sternberg Collection at the Austin History Center

Abstract

The scope of my capstone involved appraising, describing, rehousing, and creating metadata for materials from Austin filmmaker Ric Sternberg for the Austin History Center (AHC), a branch of the Austin Public Library that preserves and showcases local history and culture. The collection spans Ric's decades-long career and consists of physical and born-digital audiovisual media, paper records, and artifacts. I created detailed collection and audiovisual media metadata using PBCore and produced a DACS-compliant finding aid for the AHC website. I then encoded an XML/EAD finding aid to be uploaded to Texas Archival Resources Online (TARO) for widespread online access.
