Historic Libraries Forum summer workshops:
Cataloguing antiquarian, special and early printed collections
24 May - Edinburgh
25 May - London
The Historic Libraries Forum, in collaboration with the Rare Books Group
and Rare Books in Scotland, will be holding two day-long workshops on
cataloguing antiquarian and early printed collections on 24th and 25th May
2006. These courses are aimed at those with little or no formal training
in historical bibliography and antiquarian cataloguing. The workshops will
look at practical and technical skills, such as establishing
bibliographical format, collational formula and book structure, alongside
some of the more pehemeral skills a cataloguer needs to tackle
difficulties with dating items and recording provenance and binding
information.
Wednesday 24th May, 10.00am-4.30pm
National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh
(hosted by Rare Book Curators at the NLS)
Thursday 25th May, 10.00am-4.30pm
Room HM4, Henry Morley Building, School of Library, Archive and
Information Studies, University College London
(hosted by UCL and members of the UL Bibliographic Standards Committee)
Participants at each venue will be given an opportunity to see and handle
examples from the host's collections.
Places are limited, so early booking is advised.
Fee: £25.00 for each day, to include tea and coffee, but not lunch.
