ARCH 301 - Rules for Archival Description - Graphic Materials: 1-2 Mar. 2008
Textual records often comprise a portion of the holdings in archives. Archives need to make their graphic material just as accessible to users as textual materials, if not more so. This course covers the application of RAD to the description of photographs, artwork, elevations, maps and plans. Students will have an opportunity to practice the application of specific rules, and discuss the benefits of describing at item and aggregate levels.
