This tag library represents version 2002 of the Encoded Archival Description Document Type Definition (DTD), released in August 2002. It supersedes the Version 1.0 tag library published in 1998.

The SAA Encoded Archival Description Working Group is responsible for updating and editing the EAD DTD (EAD Technical Document No. 1) and tag library.

The Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress serves as the maintenance agency for online EAD documentation, including storage and delivery of electronic files and maintenance of the EAD web site, located at http://www.loc.gov/ead/ .
