+ | ===== INTRODUCTION ===== | ||
- | ====== INTRODUCTION ====== | + | Preferably, the entire page with a provenance mark is photographed so one sees the context of use of the mark. Please add a second image with a detail of the specific provenance mark. If a page of the book that you describe contains more than one evidence of provenance, for example two inscriptions by two different former owners, you should create two entries in the PDA, one for each former owner. We hope that in a future version of the PDA, it will be possible to highlight the specific provenance mark you describe. Until then the second image with the detail is required. |

- | The PDA is meant for unique provenance marks. Therefore, for repetitive marks such as Ex Libris, Armorial Bindings or Library Stamps, one description will do. If the same mark is used multiple times in various books, the mark is only described once in Arkyves. Inscriptions can be repetitive, but when the former owner uses a different wording or the former owner’s handwriting has changed substantially, | + | * If you cannot find the provenance mark in the PDA, create a new item; |
- | Thus, before adding a new image, check if the image is already available in the PDA by searching with the elements you plan to describe the provenance mark: name of the former owner (user of the provenance mark), subject of the image, text on the mark or ICONCLASS code. | + | |
- | - If you cannot find the provenance mark in Arkyves, describe it in the CERL PDA; | + | |
- | - If the mark is already described, do not insert it a second time; click on the image and then you can add the source with the second instance in the Comments | + | |
- | - If the image occurs in another Arkyves collection (you will only see this when your library has a subscription to Arkyves), a new description in the CERL PDA can be added. | + | |
- | Descriptions can only be edited by the person who made the initial contribution, | + | |
