Posted on behalf of Alison Wilson <[log in to unmask]> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Historic Libraries Forum Spring 2008 workshops: Cataloguing antiquarian, special and early printed collections In response to continuing demand, the Historic Libraries Forum in collaboration with the Bibliographical Standards Committee will be holding two final day-long workshops on cataloguing antiquarian and early printed collections on March 4th at New Hall, Cambridge, and on April 3rd at The British Museum. 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 ephemeral skills a cataloguer needs to tackle difficulties with dating items and recording provenance and binding information. Numbers are limited to 20 for the Cambridge day and 16 for the London workshop - early booking is advised. For more information on the Cambridge workshop please contact Alison Wilson ([log in to unmask]), for more on the workshop being held in London, contact Joanna Bowring ([log in to unmask]). A booking form is attached. Alison Wilson Librarian New Hall Huntingdon Road Cambridge CB3 0DF Tel.
