Please join us on Thursday, December 19th, 2024, for an AHA Webinar, “How-to SNAC” with our presenter, Jerry Simmons.
We will learn about SNAC (Social Networks and Archival Context), which is a free, online resource that helps users discover biographical and historical information about persons, families, and organizations that created or are documented in historical resources (primary source documents) and their connections to one another. Users can locate archival collections and related resources held at cultural heritage institutions around the world. SNAC is an international cooperative including, but not limited to, archives, libraries, and museums, that is working to build a corpus of reliable descriptions of people, families, and organizations that link to and provide a contextual understanding of historical records. At its core, SNAC leverages the EAC-CPF (Encoded Archival Context-Corporate bodies, Persons, Families) schema to organize and share archival authority data widely.
Our speaker, Jerry Simmons, is the former National Archives and Records Administration’s Lead External Agency Liaison to the SNAC (Social Networks and Archival Context) Cooperative. Jerry previously held roles as the Team Lead for Authority Control for ARC (Archival Research Catalog) and DAS (Description and Authority Service), and coordinator of NARA’s NACO (Name Authority Cooperative) and SACO (Subject Authority Cooperative) efforts. On October 1, 2024, he took on a new role as a Management Analyst in the National Archives Office of Innovation. Since January 2023, he has served as an Adjunct Professor in Simmons University’s School of Library and Information Science (Boston), teaching graduate courses on archival access and use, and oral history in archives and libraries.
