-Preferably,  the entire page with a provenance mark is photographed so one sees the context of use of the mark. If a page of the book that the 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; attach the same image to both of them. In a future version of Arkyves, it will be possible to highlight the specific provenance mark you describe.+Preferably,  the entire page with a provenance mark is photographed so one sees the context of use of the 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; attach a picture of the specific provenance mark and also the full page image to see the context of the provenance mark.
  
 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, an inscription can be added twice or more times. The decision whether a mark should be described separately is up to the editor that describes the provenance mark. The PDA is meant for unique provenance marks.
