Session recording

This session will show what SNAC is, what it does, and the history of the project. It'll include the ways the project uses Linked Data with name authorities for archival materials, Wikidata connections, and discovering hidden connections. We'll have an opportunity to demonstrate the tool and how editors leverage the connections especially after an edit-a-thon for North American anthropology resources in April.
