Abstract
The article describes the application of the Dublin Core metadata scheme for the digital collections, the Alberta Folklore and Local History, housed at the University of Alberta Libraries. It highlights the metadata needs for describing an archival collection, a detailed metadata encoding structure, the metadata authority guidelines, and the use of controlled vocabulary. It concludes that the extended Dublin Core metadata element set derived from this project is also feasible for describing other locally developed digital collections.
