EAD Basics 6: Text Division

Having gone over the <frontmatter> tag last time, this post is for the tag <div>

<div> designates subdivisions of the  text in the <frontmatter> and uses <head> to show the purpose.

It, likewise has its own list of elements it can contain, ranging from more divisions like it, to addresses, lists, notes, or tables.

Examples of <div> :

<frontmatter>
            <titlepage>[...]</titlepage>
            <div>
            <head>Acknowledgements</head>
                <p>The University of California, Irvine Libraries wishes to
                acknowledge the generosity of the family of Edgar Holden for an endowment
                in support of the processing and maintenance of this collection and the
                University of California Office of the President for grant funding in
                support of the encoding of this and other finding aids using the Encoded
                Archival Description standard.</p>
            </div> . . .

                preservation program at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture,

                <p>The Schomburg archival preservation program involves the organization
                and preservation of primary source material held by the Center and of significance
                to the study of the Black Experience. It furthermore includes the preparation of
                detailed inventories of these records, making the information contained therein
                accessible as well as available to scholars.</p>
                <p>The necessary staff and supplies for this program were made available
                through a combination of Library, National Endowment for the Humanities grant,
                and State of New York grant funds.</p>
