Did you find someone? I've been juggling in my mind the notion of exploring issues of archiving personal papers in the digital age, but it's all really nebulous what to do with it. Have you thought about pulling in one of the folks who are dealing with the specification, testing, and implementation of the ERA stuff at NARA?

Of course, if you want to deal with standards and toolkits, I would troll for an archivist who has built a system around the standards you mention (or tried and failed) to give some take-away experience.
