This free session will focus on names, as these are important entities within an archive description. It will :
- Highlight current cataloguing practices
- Give some practical tips for how to enter names, dates and additional information.
- We will also give a brief update on our 'Names Project', which seeks to work with names to improve discovery and create more connections.
- If there is time, we will look at some other examples of structure.
The session will use Zoom: you just need to click on the link that we provide and enter a password, and follow the prompts to download the correct Zoom desktop client for your computer. You may like to do this beforehand to make sure you are all ready. See: https://zoom.us/download.
This will be a session of not more than 1.5 hours.
