Catalogue Transfer Project Temporary closure of Kent Archive and Local History service at the Kent History and Library Centre, 9-26 December 2019 Work on phase 1 of our Catalogue Transfer Project by staff and volunteers is now drawing to a close. This means that we have now almost completed typing up and uploading all of the outstanding paper catalogues that predated the introduction of our electronic cataloguing software and its online counterpart. In total, we have completed typing up almost 500 archive catalogues. The next phase of this project is to enable readers to order documents directly from our online catalogue. In 2017, Kent Archives launched its own website and integrated catalogue, enabling readers to find out more about our services and collections all in one place at www.kentarchives.org.uk. Making our collections orderable Some of the rare books held in Kent Archives’ local history collection that require catalogue online will involve checking all of entries to be created, as well as packaging, barcoding and locating, prior to being orderable on our existing online catalogues for our online catalogue. errors in the structure and arrangement of the entries, which if uncorrected would prevent our users from being able to locate and identify relevant records. We also need to produce catalogue entries for our extensive local history collections, which have previously only been partially listed on the Kent libraries catalogue. -
