  2. CLIR HIDDEN COLLECTIONS PROJECTDescribing AMNH’s Collections Expeditionary Field Work at the American Museum of Natural History 2013-2016 Finding aids for archival collections Entity records for expeditions and personnel Shackelford, James B., “At nest of the even dozen dinosaur eggs, with George Olsen, who found them, at left, and Roy Chapman Andrews at right, Mongolia, 1925.”

  3. CHALLENGE #1Describing AMNH’s Collections

  4. CHALLENGE #1Connecting Collections Throughout Divisions What did they bring back? Specimens and artifacts Notes and sketches Diaries Journals Specimen books Photographs Recorded sound Moving images Archival records for Central Asiatic Expeditions were found in almost all of the divisions of Science Anthropology Paleontology Vertebrate Zoology Physical Science Research Library Shackelford, James B., “Roy Chapman Andrews watching William P. T. Hill map Urtyn Obo badlands, Mongolia, 1928.”

  5. POSSIBILITY #1EAC-CPF Encoded Archival Context – Corporate Bodies, Persons, Families (EAC-CPF) • Reconnect collections • Increase resource discovery • Reuse biogHist notes across finding aids • Reduce redundant work
