Annex 1 Sub Project Reports

ONLINE CATALOGUES PROJECT

No visits to participating archives were made this month. A small number of participating archives have still to be visited effectively for the first time, but mostly they are those at some distance from Edinburgh where the first visit will coincide with the start of collection description work.

Dr Nicola Mills started on 14 December as a casual member of staff. She lives in Aberdeen and will be undertaking work for us in local archive offices. During the month she undertook some migration of data compiled in the early months of the Project in the Word template we were using then to the “Wee Arkis” access database which has been developed for us by our IT staff, which mimics the useful functions of the Swedish Arkis system. This test migration will inform us about the migration of all of our current data which will need to be managed in the next few months.

On 14 December the Project’s contact in the Riksarkivet, Sweden, visited us to discuss further progress on the implementation by SCAN of Arkis. These discussions permitted the formulation of a timetable for future work with a view to SCAN’s acquisition of Arkis in 2001.

No new collection description entries were compiled during the month because of pressure of other commitments and lack of staff. Most of the entries for the Scottish Theatre Archive were further revised, and are almost complete now. About 50 entries for Lothian Health Services Archive were revised and sent off for review. Comments were received from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Glasgow, about all their entries, but it proved impossible to respond before the end of the month.

A few further comments about the SCAN Guidelines for data entry were received by the end of the month. A revised version will be issued, probably in February, taking into account comments received. No comments were received on Jo Peattie’s draft of some “common fonds” entries, which are Administrative Histories for collections of records commonly found in local authority archives (only those so far tackled), which had been circulated in September.

The first participating archive PC having been installed in November, arrangements were carried through with the Scottish Jewish Archive Centre, Glasgow, for some publicity photos and press release to be compiled for distribution in mid-December. Arrangements were also made for a general notice about PC availability to be sent out to all participating archives.

Alan Borthwick attended the British Records Association Conference, “History On-Line”, London, 5 December. The Conference had as speakers from many British organisations undertaking similar work to SCAN.

The Project staffing position has eased this month. Although 2 curatorial B1/2 posts were still vacant at the end of the month, a further new staff member will start on 8 January. There will continue to be a spell of some weeks while the project cannot proceed as swiftly as expected because of the staff shortage. The performance measures for the next month or two will be adjusted to take account of the shortfall, but we hope that by the end of January the new staff in post will have settled down and will be beginning to make useful contributions.

INTERNET RESOURCES PROJECT (formerly Special Archive Services)

Progress

Much of December was spent getting to grips with the site designed by the website designers, Multimedia, after the initial handover at the end of November 2000. This involved learning how to use the Macromedia software package ‘Dreamweaver’ and understanding the site functionality and the practicalities of adding new material. As a consequence, little new material was added to the site in December. In addition, the Internet Resources team continued to correct site errors – for example in the ‘North by Northwest’ captions under the ‘exhibitions’ part of the website. It was noted that some design changes would need to be gradually introduced in the site by the Internet Resources team.

Although the designers created three pages for the display of retrieved data from the Knowledge Base database in November, the SCAN IT staff were unable to link the two together and therefore the database was not made to function online in the course of December. This also meant that Robin spent some time creating specific webpages for sample Knowledge Base entries already created so that users could have some idea of the theory behind this part of the site. Equally, the Yellow Pages information (contact info for archives) was initially intended to be in the form of a searchable database but it currently a static web page containing the relevant info – alphabetically arranged. It is hoped that this situation will be remedied in the course of January 2001. The online contact and registration forms were not functioning in the course of December but this should also be fixed in January 2001. The discussion forum was functioning at the time of the site launch but this facility was little used in the course of December.

Much positive and constructive feedback was received by the Internet Resources team on the site design and a copy of this will be found in the ‘feedback’ file kept by the project administrator.

Training and Outreach

Joanna Baird attended the British Records Association Conference on 5 December in London. She also attended a training course in ‘selection interviewing’ held by the Scottish Executive on 8 December.

Robin Urquhart made four visits to participating archives in the course of December – Edinburgh University Special Collections, Scottish Jewish Archive Centre, Strathclyde University Archives and Glasgow City Archives.

Dr Barnes spoke to meetings of the Scottish Law Agents Society and to the Law Society of Scotland and to the conference of Scottish Mediaevalists.

Statistics

As from 1^st December 2000, the way that statistics are being recorded will change. Prior to this date, the team have maintained statistics on material drafted for inclusion in the prototype website – regardless of whether it was added or not – as there was no website for public viewing available technically until 30 November 2000. These statistics will now solely reflect the content that has been added to the website. In some cases, material has been recycled and entries previously created and included in previous stats re ‘drafting’ are going to reappear in the ‘added to site figures’. Therefore, it will look in some cases as though we are starting from scratch though these totals are going to add up quickly (for example – although only 6 entries were added into the Knowledge Base in December because it only existed in a basic page format, we may put in 100 when the Knowledge Base database is functioning – thus bringing the totals up to a reasonable level again). Equally, though we have previously added over 100 featured documents to our prototype site, this started from scratch again and we have now created about 6 documents for the current website. Cumulative totals pre December are available at HLF/throughput monitoring sheet.

Digitisation

A new camera table and lights was received towards the end of December. However, some technical problems continued to dog the digitisation part of the Internet Resources project. These include the following problems which all affected progress:-

• Problems with the initialization of the digital camera
• Problems with the uninterruptible power supply malfunctioning
• 115v power supply to camera failing
• Poor camera resolution and quality of images due to an internal connection fault

The quality of the images of documents was generally acceptable but it was decided to halt the stock job of digitally imaging glass plate negatives as the quality was not sufficient for this sort of work. We hope to resume this when the new digital camera arrives in March 2001.

TESTAMENTS PROJECT

Digital capture

Quality control of all the images captured in November was completed , but continuing problems with colour balance in the dCam software led to a diminution in the number of new images captured during the month. New copy stands and book cradles for the cameras were installed in the week before Christmas, which will considerably improve the conditions for capturing both double and single page images. For optimum efficiency some modifications will need to be made to the stands and it is expected that these will be made about the end of January. Invitations to tender for the next camera procurement were sent out on 1 December, with a reply deadline of 12 January 2001.

Our GSU team was completed by the arrival of Mr and Mrs Daines shortly before Christmas.

Conservation

Peter and Dagmar continued with the cleaning and repair of the Edinburgh registers and the Aberdeen warrants respectively, and made preparations for the arrival of their new preservation assistant in the New Year. Dagmar attended a 1 day seminar on photographic conservation in London, as part of her continued acquisition of specialist skills for treating photographs selected for digital capture by Internet Resources.

Editorial

The work of indexing and paginating by the GSU continued apace, despite sick leave by four members of the team, and three further commissariots - Banff, Dornoch, and Dingwall - were completed.

Margaret continued indexing 19^th century registers of Duns and Ayr, as well as starting on the selection for capture of pre-1823 Stirling warrants.

Jane continued labelling the Aberdeen warrants to facilitate Dagmar’s conservation of them and prepared for her transfer to home working in the New Year. Her main task will then be to link digital images to their correct index entries, using software developed by Rob Mildren.

Training and outreach

Hazel attended the British Records Association ‘History On-Line’ 1 day conference on 5 December, where the presence of SCAN staff was much appreciated. She then went to York for the Digital Preservation workshop run by Cedars on 6 December and the ‘Preservation 2000’ conference on the following two days.
