Sub Project Reports

 

Online Catalogues:

 

Progress:

 

Work on collection description creation continued in the following archives:

 

The Shetland work is very well-advanced, and will soon reach the stage of editing/checking for consistency.  Scottish Borders is a new start this month.

 

Editing work took place on

 

Some tidying up work was also done on older National Library of Scotland data. 

 

Data was dispatched for review to North Lanarkshire Council Archives; progress with local review was checked in a couple of Archives where there had been no recent contact.  A visit was paid to Dundee University Archives to consider the possibility of SCAN assistance with its commitment to dispatch a certain number of entries to the Archives Hub. 

 

Confirmation was received of additional student casual assistance with our work during the third quarter of 2002. 

 

Training and Outreach:

 

Work under this head focused on the migration needs for SCAN’s data when it is transferred to CALM, and discussions were held with NAS IT staff responsible for CALM on the matter.  It is hoped that in June some data can be sent to DS Ltd for test conversion.

 

Arrangements were well in hand with the Society of Archivists, Scotland, training committee representatives for there to be a joint training event in Descriptive Standards in Edinburgh in July, which will be sponsored by SCAN and is primarily aimed at SCAN’s participating archives.
2.         Internet Resources project

 

Progress:

 

Work progressed on the development of www.scottishdocuments.com to ensure that the design team was able to fulfill the project brief. This involved the creation of more supplementary content as well as testing of the ‘development’ site and its e-commerce application. It is hoped to conclude this process in early June.

 

The first week of May was spent completing and testing the Local History Week digitisation project in time for the launch on 4th May. Several of the archives participating in the project achieved some local publicity for the work completed. Lack of storage on the web server meant however that it was not possible to physically add any more content to the website after this had been done. And this remained the case for the rest of the month – and will be the case until additional server storage can be purchased and installed.

 

27 Knowledge Base entries were added to the site in May. Work on exhibitions and Virtual Vault entries were further delayed awaiting NAS conservation assessments on requests for permission to use certain documents.

 

The Webtrends statistical software showed that the new website – www.scottishdocuments.com - had received approximately 58,000 visits, around 2.4 million ‘hits’ to the new site since launch on 6th April.

 

One end year review was carried out during May

 

Training and Outreach:

 

Robin Urquhart attended a conference in Dumfries on Saturday 11th May on Covens and Covenanters and demonstrated the website to participants there. Robin also undertook some palaeography training of GSU volunteer staff.

 

Joanna Baird gave a talk on SCAN and www.scottishdocuments.com to a sub-group of Renfrewshire Family History Society on the 28th May. Joanna attended a meeting of the ancestralscotland steering Group on 17th May. Joanna met with the editor of the Scottish Executive’s SCOOP publication on 9th May in preparation for a feature on the project. Joanna and Rob also met with a representative of Scotland Magazine on 15th May to discuss potential promotional initiatives.

 

Digitisation:

 

Gary Clelland completed work on the Local History Week digitisation project of material from the National Library of Scotland. Gary also produced and laminated colour images for use in www.scottishdocuments.com displays.

 


3.         Testaments Project

 

Progress:

Digitising of the following series with the Atmel cameras was completed:

 

Digitising of the following series with the Atmel cameras was completed up to the penultimate volume

This is the final series of Sherriff Court registers pre-1875 to be captured.

 

Following the signing of  a new agreement with the GSU to capture the testaments registers up to 1900 digitising of the first series of 1876-1885 registers was started:

 

Digitising of the following series with the Kodak cameras was completed:

 

Digitising of the following series with the Kodak cameras continues:

There remain only 10 volumes of Commissary Court registers to be captured

 
Conservation:

 

Conservation was carried out by SCAN and NAS staff this month. A total of  24 volumes and 40 bundles of warrants were conserved prior to digitisation.

Ann Gibson sleeved and repacked over 5,000 Aberdeen and Brechin warrants before and after digitisation. She also continued to sort and number St Andrews warrants in consultation with Charles Kelham. 

 

Editorial:

 

The Testaments team formulated revised guidelines for index/image linking, with particular reference to the Notes field in the index database, and Rob added a drop-down box for additions to this field on the linking screen. Margaret and Hazel then conducted a training session for the GSU volunteers.

 

Index/image linking of Alloa Inventories and Wills (SC64/42/1-15) was completed and work begun on Ayr Testamentary Deeds (SC6/46/1-11) and Ayr Inventories (SC6/44/38).

 

Six volumes of Dunblane Sheriff Court Inventories and Wills volumes were re-indexed.

 

Jane Hill continued linking Aberdeen Warrants (CC1/6/1-86) and Charles Kelham continued linking St Andrews Inventories and Settlements (CC20/7/1-16). Nicola Mills and Paul Hopkins started linking Edinburgh Testaments (CC8/8/1-152).

Margaret continued to work on editing the reference field of the composite wills index and prepared two display board panels for the ‘Covenants and Covenanters’ conference of the Dumfries and Galloway Local History Society

Hazel worked on general editing of the composite wills index, content for the new SCAN Testaments website – www.scottishdocuments.com . She and Margaret answered 70 enquiries from the site during the month. 

 

Staff, training and outreach:

 

Paul Hopkins joined the Testaments Team as a Casual Curatorial on 7 May.

Jay and Lucy Daines completed their 18 month tour of duty with the GSU team on 17 May and were replaced by Leland and Sharon Maylin. The whole team visited General Register House for induction training on Wednesday 15 May and also attended two sessions of  a palaeography workshop headed by Robin Urquhart during that week.

 

Hazel met with the editor of the Scottish Executive’s SCOOP publication on 9 May in preparation for a feature on the project.

 

Margaret attended the ‘Covenants and Covenanters’ conference of the Dumfries and Galloway Local History Society on Saturday 11 May and demonstrated the wills website.

 

Appraisal reports for all permanent Testaments staff were completed and objectives set for the coming year.

 

Hazel was on leave for one week and Dagmar for two weeks during the month.
