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. | Preferably, the entire page with a provenance mark is photographed so one sees the context of use of the mark.

+ | **Description**\\ | ||
+ | Here a general description of the provenance mark must be given. This is a free field, you may choose | ||
+ | Examples: \\ | ||
+ | * Ex-libris of J.B. Verdussen, oval mark with birds feeding a bird on a nest, surrounded by a border with text. | ||
+ | * Notes by J. Visser with bibliographical information concerning the edition | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Kind of provenance **\\ | ||
+ | Picklist. Choose one of the options. If you miss a particular kind of provenance, please write to the PDA Coordinator, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ** Transcription**\\ | ||
+ | Transcribe the text (if any) on the provenance mark in normalised form, i.e. do not use capitals if these are not used in a common sentences; give the text as it is meant, i.e. solve the u-v, i-j etc. in Latin[“virtus” instead of “virtvs”] and if possible, give a translation between brackets [ …]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Language **\\ | ||
+ | Picklist. Choose the language of the text on the mark. If the language is not available in the picklist, you can choose Other. Please specify the language of the provenance mark in the Notes field. | ||

+ | |||
+ | **ICONCLASS **\\ | ||
+ | ICONCLASS is added to provide a language undependable subject code. Please describe all elements you see on the mark, for example a stamp, or an image on an Ex Libris. The more codes you add, the more the mark is findable for others. If you only have for example an Ex Libris, add the code 49M8 (Ex Libris) or one of the codes that you will encounter often when describing provenance marks: | ||
+ | * 49M8 Ex Libris | ||
+ | * 49L7 handwriting, | ||
+ | * 49L65 seal, stamp | ||
+ | * 49L27 mark of ownership | ||
+ | * 49L17 initial | ||
+ | |||

+ | **Place of use **\\ | ||
+ | In the search box, enter the place where the provenance mark was used or/and the Former Owner (user of the provenance mark) lived. This field is connected to the CERL Thesaurus. Type the name of the place of use and the name will be retrieved. You can also add the name of a country if you do not know a specific place or region where the mark was in use. There is some delay in the retrieval of the geographical names from the CERL Thesaurus, so you may have to wait until it appears. If no name pops up, add the place name via the ‘Add Lookup items’ button (see Missing names, below). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Former Owners | ||
+ | Enter the name of the user (person or institution) of the provenance mark. Insert the name of the Former Owner as specific as possible. This field is connected to the CERL Thesaurus.

In the search box you enter they name that you have just created, and establish a link between the CERL Thesaurus and the PDA by clicking on it. There can be a small delay when saving new names in the CERL Thesaurus, so you might have to wait some minutes before you can retrieve the name you created for the input form. | ||

+ | **Notes **\\ | ||
+ | In this field you can add information you were not yet able to provide: for example URL’s of other books with the same image, or other useful information such as bibliographical references, references to other provenance websites, information about a former owner etc. For some elements new fields might be defined in the future. | ||
