The Local 496 Project transforms the American Federation of Music’s Local 496 union list into a semantic data network. This document is a 1940’s directory of the segregated African-American chapter of New Orleans jazz musicians. This project will highlight the Batiste family network, many of whom are listed in the directory.
In this presentation, students in LIS 625 Management of Archives & Special Collections will present on their work of processing the records of Pratt Institute School of Information and creating a DACS/EAD compatible finding aid using the tool AtoM (Access to Memory).
