EAD humour

(February 7th, 2007 - 9:44PM)

I came across this while perusing the archival data of one of my clients.

Let me just clarify: this item is on file in a historic archives. Someone thought this had enough historical value to file it away, write up a description for it, and publish it to the world.

This record is encoded as EAD, but you don't need to know what EAD is to understand why this is funny.
