  • A History of the British Library Slavonic and East European Collections: 1952-2004
    A History of the British Library Slavonic and East European Collections: 1952-2004 Milan Grba Preface The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the British Library Slavonic and East European Department oral history interviews project. The project was carried out over two years, and nineteen former Slavonic and East European department staff took part in it in 2011 and 2012. The material from the oral history project and description in more detail can be accessed via the British Library Sound and Moving Image Catalogue (http://cadensa.bl.uk/cgi-bin/webcat) as the entry ‘the British Library Slavonic and East European Oral History Interviews’. This article is limited only to information that has not been discussed in interviews or published in previous research on the British Library collections.1 It draws on two main sources of information. The unpublished primary sources which were consulted are held in the British Library Archives in the DH 2 series and the published sources were derived from P. R. Harris, A History of the British Museum Library, 1753-1973 (London, 1998).2 The British Library staff office notices were also consulted for the period 1973 to 2000, but this period is examined to a lesser extent. This is partly due to the information already provided in the interviews and partly to the time limits imposed upon the research for this article. Much more attention is needed for the post-1973 period, and without a full grasp and understanding of the archive sources it would be not possible properly to assess the available information held in the British Library 1 Such as P.

  • Gedcoms & Other Genie Stuff
    Family History Society of Rockingham & Districts Meeting Day Saturday 7 January 2017 Slide 1 GEDCOMs & Other Genie Stuff Slide 2 GEDCOM Files •What Are they? • GEDCOM (an acronym standing for Genealogical Data Communication) is an open de facto specification for exchanging genealogical data between different genealogy software. GEDCOM was developed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) as an aid to genealogical research. Multimedia The GEDCOM standard supports the inclusion of multimedia objects (for example, photos of individuals). Such multimedia objects can be either included in the GEDCOM file itself (called the "embedded form") or in an external file where the name of the external file is specified in the GEDCOM file (called the "linked form"). Embedding multimedia directly in the GEDCOM file makes transmission of data easier, in that all of the information (including the multimedia data) is in one file, but the resulting file can be enormous. Linking multimedia keeps the size of the GEDCOM file under control, but then when transmitting the file, the multimedia objects must either be transmitted separately or archived together with the GEDCOM into one larger file. Support for embedding media directly was dropped in the draft 5.5.1 standard. Slide 3 GEDCOM Files •What Are they? •Why are they useful • GEDCOM files can be created from any Family History source and used to a) send your family history information from your software to relatives for use in the software they prefer, which may be different to yours b) upload to various website family trees including Ancestry.com, Find My Past and Familysearch c) provide a backup of your family history data which can be kept on a disk/flash drive/computer d) transfer your family history information to different software e.g.

  • Inter Departmental Archives Committee Action Plan On
    Inter Departmental Archives Committee Government Policy on Archives: Action Plan Foreword from the Keeper of Public Records In my capacity as Chair of the United Kingdom Inter-Departmental Archives Committee (IDAC), which I chair on the behalf of the Lord Chancellor, I am pleased to present the Action Plan to accompany the Government Policy on Archives (Cm 4516, December 1999). The Plan, which has been the subject of extensive consultation, is intended to provide a general framework for the activities of the leading archive bodies, both inside and outside Government, towards achieving the high-level outcomes set out in the main policy document, over the next three years or so. As well as the relevant Government Departments, Resource (the Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries), the National Council on Archives (NCA), and the Association of Chief Archivists in Local Government (ACALG) will all play a major role in the Plan's implementation. IDAC's secretariat will regularly monitor and publish progress against the agreed action points set out in the Plan. Shortly after the Plan was approved at official level, Baroness Blackstone, Minister of State for the Arts, announced on 12 July that the functions of the Public Record Office (PRO) and the Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC) are to be brought together in a single new organisation, called the National Archives, which will come under the Lord Chancellor. This will come into effect on 1 April 2003. In the Action Plan the PRO is designated the lead body for objectives 3 (records and archives management in the public sector) and 5 (the archiving of electronic data), while HMC is the lead body for objective 4 (promoting standards in private archives).

  • Migration Toolkit for Careful Potential Migrants
    A Migration Toolkit for careful potential migrants Barbara Levergood 9 September 2017 The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA The Migration Toolkit is available at The ROOTS Users Group of Arlington, VA http://www.rootsusers.org/ It is not important for you to have it for purposes of this presentation. The Problem The following is equally true of Family Historian and Legacy software: “RootsMagic provides a direct TMG import which provides much better results than using a GEDCOM transfer. Still, it is not possible to get a perfect one-to-one transfer because of the vastly different data models, template languages, etc. used by both TMG and RootsMagic. You will need to expect to do some cleanup when moving your data from TMG to RootsMagic (or any other program) […].” Moving Data from TMG to RootsMagic, http:// files.rootsmagic.com/TMGDoc.pdf The Questions o How good is the (direct) import to the new software? o What kind of clean up is needed in TMG or in the new software? o What resources are available to help me find out? Each careful migrant will want to investigate the answers for him/herself. Nobody said this was going to be easy. 2 The Goal Introduce the Migration Toolkit* and how to use it. The Migration Toolkit includes: • List of resources (Word document) • Migration Dummy (TMG project as a backup .sqz file) • Spreadsheet for Documenting your Findings and Next Steps (Excel) It is about the process! * Some resources useful in the testing and evaluation of candidate genealogical software and in the preparation for migration.
