What is Finding Aids?

A search interface powered by Blacklight for special collections finding aids imported in EAD format.

Isn't there something for this already?

Sure is. We have an in-house Solr index using XSLT for searching and styling results. But this scenario is what Blacklight is designed for! So we are refactoring the existing application to use cloud WebSolr and a customized Blacklight.
