ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview
of the technology infrastructure upon which digital libraries are created and
accessed. Host servers, system and application software, desktop workstation
requirements, interconnecting networks, and the creation and conversion of data,
are summarized. A case study of the Online Archive of New Mexico is discussed
where more than one thousand finding aids to manuscript and oral history collections
from four institutions were converted to SGML-formatted documents according
to the EAD standards.
