Using Primo for Metadata from the Integrated
Archives and Manuscripts System (IAMS):
Experience and Issues
Bill Stockting: EPUG-UKI Conference: British
Library, 15 October 2012
Introduction
Today:
 An archivist’s view rather than one from a technical background
 Some brief context:
 BL’s archives and manuscript collections
 Catalogued in the Integrated Archives and Manuscript System
– IAMS
 Look at our separate PRIMO instance Search our Catalogue,
Archives and Manuscripts – SoCAM – by demonstration:
 What we’ve done
 Issues
Archives and Manuscript Collections
Extensive collections of unique
archives and manuscripts:
 Manuscripts: Western, Oriental
and Music
 Records of East India Company
and its successors, and related
private papers and manuscripts
 Digitised collections from the
Endangered Archives
Programme (EAP)
 British Library Corporate Archive
Cataloguing
IAMS:
 Bespoke system developed
internally to deal with our
heterogeneous collections
 Latest thinking in data modelling
taken into account
 System live in July 2009
 Key legacy catalogues migrated
 2 million records
 Data published to separate
PRIMO instance
IAMS: Data Model
Archive
Institutions
held by
Persons,
Families,
Corporate
Bodies
created by
Archives &
Manuscripts
Places,
Concepts,
Things,
Events &,
Titles
have subjects
Projects &
collections
catalogued and digitised by
User requirements
 Implicit in the thinking behind the data model then is that users of
this material need to understand the context of its creation and
use: only then can the information contained in the material be
used as evidence!
 In which case we need a public system that satisfies all of the
user requirements found in FRBR not just:
 Find
 Identify
 Select
 Obtain
 But also:
 Navigate!
Search our Catalogue, Archives and Manuscripts: SOCAM
http://searcharchives.bl.uk/primo_library
SOCAM: Search
SOCAM: Find and Identify
SOCAM: Select
SOCAM: Navigate – Collection Hierarchy
SOCAM: Navigate – Collection Hierarchy
SOCAM: Navigate – Archives/Manuscripts and People Entities
SOCAM: Navigate – Archives/Manuscripts and People Entities
SOCAM: Navigate – Archives/Manuscripts and People Entities
…and Finally!
 So PRIMO good at find, identify, select, and obtain but not so
good at navigate!
 Next steps to investigate:
 developing a hierarchical and/or finding aid view
 merging the archives and manuscripts data with the Library’s
main PRIMO catalogue – Explore the British Library
 Please look at our system – feedback appreciated
 Thank you!

  1. Welcome!
  2. I’ve been asked to talk to you about archival cataloguing and metadata at the BL: so I’ll tell you about our newish archives and manuscripts catalogue – the Integrated Archives and Manuscripts System (IAMS for short) and say something about its development, why we chose it etc Then we’ll look specifically at the data model and the international standards on which it is based We’ll look at the public interface to the system Before finally looking briefly at where we are with using the cataloging/metadata with digital versions of the actual content – which will lead you on to the talks after lunch! While I’ll talk about what we’ve done – I’ll try and include information about other ways of doing things – and I’m happy to answer questions as we go along! To begin with I have two for you: What sort of material are you responsible for in the National Records and Archives Authority – will this be older material or more contemporary material? Is it paper etc or in electronic form?
  3. For reference a note of the collections that our new catalogue is being used for basically all of the Library’s archive and manuscript collections: the Library’s Western, Oriental, Literary, and Music ‘manuscript’ collections, including the foundation collections such as Cotton and Harley as well as the Additional Manuscripts sequence. These include many manuscripts of creative works (religious and literary works for example) and – so this is what I mean by manuscripts as different to archives – that is groups of material created or accumulated by a person, family or corporate body while carrying out their daily activities: So there are also many personal and family and estate archives, a few corporate archives particularly relating to publishing and those of our literary greats, which include creative manuscripts as well as correspondence and business documentation etc the archives of the India Office and its predecessors, beginning of course with the East India Company and the related private archives and manuscripts collections known as the India Office Private Papers – These are the collections Antonia spoke about! archive collections that are at risk around the world being digitized as part of the Endangered Archives Programme – EAP Finally, we hope to also include the archives of the Library itself

  5. We can take a look at this: Library’s standard – designed for books but still see the search model Search People etc as well as archives Facets bring out elements Archive description – see hierarchy – better would be tree view which common with archival systems – hope to develop Navigate to people and back again etc Push now for us to include our data in the Library’s main catalogue – in the process we may lose some of the ‘navigation’ functionality we have here!

  14. I’ve been asked to talk to you about archival cataloguing and metadata at the BL: so I’ll tell you about our newish archives and manuscripts catalogue – the Integrated Archives and Manuscripts System (IAMS for short) and say something about its development, why we chose it etc Then we’ll look specifically at the data model and the international standards on which it is based We’ll look at the public interface to the system Before finally looking briefly at where we are with using the cataloging/metadata with digital versions of the actual content – which will lead you on to the talks after lunch! While I’ll talk about what we’ve done – I’ll try and include information about other ways of doing things – and I’m happy to answer questions as we go along! To begin with I have two for you: What sort of material are you responsible for in the National Records and Archives Authority – will this be older material or more contemporary material? Is it paper etc or in electronic form?
