If the encoded finding aid belongs to a published monographic series, use the <seriesstmt>, a wrapper element within <filedesc>, to encode information about the series. The information may simply be encoded in <p> tags or include the <titleproper> and <num> elements for greater specificity.
Attributes
- ALTRENDER – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.
- AUDIENCE – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
- ID – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
- ENCODINGANALOG – not required. May contain information to map this tag to a particular element in another schema.
Subelements
All text within <seriesstmt> must be encoded within subelements. The generic elements <p> and <num>, and specific element <titleproper> may all be used.
Our EAD file so far
I’m going to refer to a fictional “Bell Family Papers” as the series:
