+  - **EAD:** check this box if the collection has an EAD finding aid online.
+  - **Inventory:** check this box if the collection has an inventory. This inventory can be part of a finding aid or a temporary inventory tool either inherited or created by archivists for ease of access until the collection is fully processed.
