Just a note we are getting close for opening registration for code4lib 2011.
I expect this to happen either this Fri Dec 10 or Mon Dec 13. I will aim to

Hi Nathan,
FWIW, here's an example of how we've split up a large finding aid at
UMass. Each series title links to the in-depth dsc for that series.

Nothing fancy but does the trick.

Nathan,
Would it make sense to break this up into several documents and add a search
function? You could still have a giant, one-page (and thus easily-printable)
option, but maybe that wouldn't be the default.
The search feature I'm envisioning would just be a search of key words in the
title
Hi Nathan,
Aside from just load time, there's another point that you might want to
consider: the last time that I checked, Google would only index our particular
pages up to 1 MB (though this value certainly isn't static, and 5 MB might be
the new limit in the near future / already for some si

There is no magic way to make a 2.5M file load quickly in a browser --
let alone be actually useable once in a browser window. (What human is
going to read 40 or 50 or 100 pages all at once in a browser window?).
2.5M is just too big for a web page. You're going to have to split it up.

Rats, that's what I thought. I'm having trouble trying to get gzip
compression to work. I added an .htaccess file enabling gzip, to both the
site root, and the FindingAids directory, as well as ms0361.gz, but I don't
think the page is being delivered compressed. Can you perhaps test it and
see if

I don't think this will really help any, because the files would still
be combined together on your side
of the server and the large file will go o
Ethan: All of our online finding aids are static HTML files, with a handful
generated from EAD 1.0 files. I'm working towards getting all our finding

Hi Nathan,
A 5 MB EAD XML file will result in an HTML file of at least that size, so
certainly 5 MB will result in a long load time for people on a slower DSL
connection, or God forbid, dialup (does dialup still exist?).
A few questions first:
Are your finding aids transformed into HTML files tha

You could try server side gzip compression

At a certain point, all you can do is try to split it up into multiple pages.

Two comments,
1. Break up to multiple pages.
2. A site search of the data
That would be relatively simple in a database driven site.
One could then add more functionality to the searches (dates, names or whatever)

I've got a LARGE finding aid that was generated from EAD. It's over 5 MB
and has caused even Notepad++ and Dreamweaver to crash. My main concern is
client-side load time. The collection is our most heavily used and the
finding aid will see a lot of traffic. I'm fairly adept with
