The Orwell papers and the LEADERS project at University College London.

BookMARC was selected by the School of Library, Archives and Information Science at University College London to implement a generic toolset that enables the creation of an online environment which integrates EAD finding aids and EAC authority records with TEI transcripts and digitised images of archival material suitable to a wide variety of archives. The LEADERS Toolkit was developed with the aid of a grant from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Board.

The LEADERS toolkit is currently available through Sourceforge at http://leaders.sourceforge.net and BookMARC offers a set of support and consultancy services for the LEADERS community.
