Social Tagging for Archival Collections

A project to explore the use of social tagging in archival collections in order to make the information in these collections more easily discoverable. Most finding aids to archival collections do not provide comprehensive information about their contents, and social tagging might be a tool that could provide librarians, curators, researchers, students and faculty more in-depth information about these collections.
