Final Version -- October 24, 2003
Photograph CollectionsDublin CoreDescriptionTitleTitle: searchable, public fieldDescribe who, what, where, when, as applicable.
Generally titles begin with who and/or what, then describe where (by city or town), then end with when (a date). (More detail below.)
Only the first word and proper names should be capitalized, generally speaking (capitalization questions can be resolved by referring to AACR2R, Appendix A).
Brackets or quotation marks should not be used in the Title field.
Who and What information:
Begin the title describing who/what the image is of or about. If the image is of a place in general, the title can begin with where information.
[Note on displays of multiple images in CONTENTdm: after a users search query, image thumbnails display alphabetically by title, with the titles beneath the thumbnails. If titles begin with what the image is of or about, images about the same subject will be grouped together in search retrieval displays.]
[Note on generic titles: Titles should strive to uniquely identify the image; consequently generic titles have been avoided. For example, titles describing what the image is Photograph or Stereocard have not been used; additionally, using a general class for what the image is of Tree or Boy has been avoided.]
[Note on transcribing title information: text from any source can be transcribed in the title, such as text printed on the image, handwritten information on the back of the photo, a reference book, etc. A note should be created describing the source of all titles, when applicable, especially for transcribed titles (see the Notes field below, specifically Note type 7).]
Where information:
In the Title field the city, county or town name should reflect the name at the time the photograph was taken.
If unknown, where information should either be omitted or approximated. When approximating, qualify the place with either Possibly, or Probably; for example, Edith Johnson Wright's siblings, probably in Hobart, n.d. [Note: Probably has been used to suggest more certainty than Possibly.]
Sometimes adding the town or city creates redundancy in the title; for example, Maple Valley Grade School second and third grade class, Maple Valley, May 9, 1929. In some cases these types of redundancies have been avoided, in others they have been entered in the metadata: it is a judgment call for the cataloger. The most important consideration is that where information will be understandable and accessible to users.
Many images in the Maple Valley collection are in unincorporated King County. If the place does not have a city or town, it is okay to enter the place as King County in the Title field.
If the only known location information is a geographical feature, such as a lake, enter the name of the geographical feature.
When information:
Always include a date when known. For transcribed titles, enter as-is; For formulated titles, uUse the form April 25, 1925. appended to the end of the title; that is, enter the month, day and year, as available.
If only an approximate date is known, use ca. as in ca. 1925. Some dates can use Before or After as in Before 1926, or a date range can be entered using four digit dates, such as 1915-1916 (not 1915-16). Other representations of approximate dates have been avoided (such as 1920s, 1930-ish, etc.)
Sources of dates should be cited in the Notes field (this can be done using various Note types, but only one such Note should be created).
If the date cannot be determined in any way, enter n.d. to represent no date.
Examples of some titles:
W.D. Gibbon with Elizabeth and Chester Gibbon outside a house, probably in Maple Valley, n.d.
Peacock Lumber Company exterior showing men and a cart of lumber on a wooden road, Hobart, ca. 1904
Wood and Iverson Mill engine interior showing J.A. Evenson, Hobart, n.dPhotographerCreator: searchable, public field; required field
Photographer and/or firm associated with the creation of the original photograph.
If the photographer of the image-in-hand is different than the original photographer, a note should be created to describe the photographer of the image-in-hand (this can be done in the Notes field using note type 2).
Each name should appear in one form only. Variant name forms can be entered in the Notes field (specifically as a Note type 6 described below).
Whenever possible the form of the name should be taken from the Library of Congress Authority File (at HYPERLINK "http://authorities.loc.gov/" http://authorities.loc.gov/)
Other sources can be used when the name is not represented in the Library of Congress Authority File. However when another source is used, it should be cited in the Notes field (specifically using Note type 8 below).
The source of the photographer name should always appear in Notes (this can be done using various Note types, but only one such Note should be created).
Invert personal names (Lastname, Firstname).
If the photographer is not known, enter Unknown.
If more than one photographer/firm is associated with the creation of the image, enter all names and separate them with a single break (that is,
).DateDate: Non-searchable, public field; required fieldYear in which the original photograph was taken.
Form of the date should be specific year only; for example, 1925. If the date is unknown, assign an approximate date using ca.; for example, ca. 1925. Other representations of approximate dates can be expressed in the Title and Notes fields, as appropriate (see those field descriptions for details).
Approximate dates should be used in combination with the Dates field to enable searching of multiple dates (see that field description for details).
Specific dates (for example, September 12, 1933) should be entered in the Title field and can be noted in the Notes field (see those field descriptions for more details).
If a date is not possible to assign, enter n.d. to represent no date.DatesDate: searchable, hidden field; required fieldUsed in conjunction with the Date field. This field is searchable but it is hidden to the public (unlike the Date field, which is not searchable but visible to the public).
When the Date is a single year, enter the same year in Dates.
When the Date is approximate (for example, ca. 1925), Dates should list a range of dates five years on either side of the approximate date. The date range should be on a single line, with years separated from each other by a space; thus Date = ca. 1925 means Dates = 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930.
Date ranges can be longer or shorter than five years on each side, if appropriate. Exercise judgment on what the best date range is.
When n.d. is entered in the Date field, leave the Dates field empty.CaptionDescription: searchable, public fieldThis field is currently not in use in the Maple Valley Historical Society Photograph Collection. Captions, when created, can be entered in the Notes field as a Note type 1, or we can reactivate the Captions field, which has not been deleted, only hidden.
For a description of the Captions field, see other organizations data dictionary; a good example to look at would be White River Valley Museum.All rMore than anything else will contain research into an images content. or other details will be included in this field.NotesDescription: searchable, public fieldInclude any information of importance that is not represented elsewhere. Each note should be written as a paragraph separated from contiguous Note types using a double break (that is,
). If the contiguous note is the same Note type however, it should be separated only by a single break (that is,
).
Note types and the order in which they should be used:
1. Notes describing the content of the image. These are primarily transcriptions of miscellaneous information that describe the content of an image, but can include notes or captions written like a museum exhibit label. Content Notes should have something like a citation following the note in square brackets. Some examples:
In 1970 the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, the Great Northern Railway Company, the Pacific Coast Railroad Company, and the Northern Pacific Railway Company merged under the name Burlington Northern, Inc. [Note from the Library of Congress Name Authority file.]
In the background: an early home with lantern and rake hanging on siding [Maple Valley Historical Society note].
Doors were later rebuilt [Maple Valley Historical Society note].
2. Statement of responsibility note. Create a note describing anybody associated with the creation of the image and not entered in the Photographer field. [No notes of this type have been required as of October 24, 2003.]
3. Transcriptions of recto information. These are transcriptions of textual information either in the image or on the image. Wording for this type of note includes:
[Handwritten/Printed/Handwritten and printed] on image:
On [ball/sign, etc.] in image:
Photographer's logo on mount beneath image:
Caption printed beneath image: or Printed beneath image:
Reference number printed on image: or Photographer's reference number printed on image:
4. Transcriptions of Verso Information. These are transcriptions of textual information on the back of prints. Wording for this type of note includes:
[Handwritten/Stamped] on verso:
Label [typed/handwritten] on verso:
[AZO/NOKO/CYKO] stamp box printed on verso. (Note: this is used for postcards.)
5. Accompanying Material. These are transcriptions of textual information that in any way accompanies an image, whether its handwritten on a piece of paper, stamped on a negative sleeve, typed on a label filed with the image, etc. Wording for this type of note includes:
Handwritten on verso of duplicate image:
On mount beneath a duplicate image:
Notes filed with image:
Stamped on verso of original print: [used when the original was not the item scanned]
Typed note filed with the image names people depicted, starting from the boy at top left and moving left to right in ragged rows: 1 ( ) Carpenter, 2 Carl Soderberg
6. Name Cross Reference. Alternate forms of names listed elsewhere in the metadata. Whenever possible the source of the variant spelling should be listed. Wording for this type of note includes:
Northern Pacific Railway Company also known as Northern Pacific Railroad Co. [Note from the Library of Congress Name Authority File.]
Maple Valley Highway also known as Washington State Highway 169 [catalogers note].
7. Source of Title Proper. This note type has not been used as of October 24, 2003, although it is highly recommended. A lot of information is entered or even transcribed into the Title field, sometimes without justification or explanation. Some kind of note describing the source of Title information could be useful and illuminating.
8. Source of Date and/or Source of Creator and/or source of location. The source of the date should always be entered. Often this will be explained in a transcribed note; for example, if an Additional Recto Information Note reads, Handwritten on verso: 1925 and the date in Title and Date is 1925, a Source of Date Note will not be used (that is, the Additional Recto Information Note is an adequate citation of date source). Wording for this type of note includes:
Date supplied by Maple Valley Historical Society.
Photographer name supplied by Maple Valley Historical Society.
Photographer name and Date supplied by Maple Valley Historical Society.
Location information supplied by Maple Valley Historical Society.
9. Source of information across multiple fields (and of captions, in the case that the Caption field is re-instated). The form should be as follows:
Date and photographer name supplied by
Captions, if they are ever used, would be accompanied by the following citation formats:
Source of caption information: or Caption information source: [Use this when the caption is not a direct quote.]
Caption taken from: . [Use this when the caption is a direct quote.]
Caption by [Use this when a person creates an original caption without sources.]
10. Publication, Distribution, Exhibit History, etc. These would describe any such dissemination of an image. These have not been used as of October 24, 2003 to describe the Maple Valley Historical Society Photograph Collection.
11. Nature, Scope or Artistic Form (genre) and information concerning the Physical Description. These describe any physical characteristics of the image not represented in Physical Description. Examples of this type of note include:
Edges around photograph were cut away to create an oval image; originally a photographic print on a postcard.
Item scanned was a digital print of the scanned, hand-colored original photograph; it is not known whether the original item was a negative or a print [cataloger's note].
12. Information concerning the Museums Holdings. These describe any pertinent collection or holdings information. Examples of this type of note include:
Original print filed with copy print, from which scan was produced [cataloger's note].SubjectsSubject: searchable, public fieldIn general:
Subject headings representing the content of the images.
Specifically, topical headings and headings for event names, structure names and names of corporate bodies (organizations, companies, etc.) represented in the image are entered in this field. Names of individuals should be entered in Personal Names; names of geographic places should be entered in Places.
Geographic subdivisions representing the location depicted should be appended to every heading when the location depicted is known (see below for details).
When entering multiple headings, separate them using a single break (that is,
).
[Note: headings for places and personal names are not entered in this field, they are entered in Places and Personal Names, respectively; see those field descriptions for more details.]
Source of subject headings:
Headings are should be taken from a controlled vocabulary, usually the Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials I: Subject Terms (TGM I) whenever possible. All topical headings have been taken from TGMI. Corporate names and the specific names of events and structures however have been taken from the Library of Congress Authority File.
If a corporate name or a name for an event or structure is not listed in any of the Library of Congress resources but a subject heading is desired, another resource may be used or the most common form of the name may be entered (this should not be done for topical subject headings). Care should be taken to use the same form of the name each time the subject heading is used. At present all corporate names used have been taken from the Library of Congress resources.
TGMI is available at HYPERLINK "http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/tgm1" http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/tgm1; the Library of Congress Authority File is available at HYPERLINK "http://authorities.loc.gov" http://authorities.loc.gov.
Selecting terms:
To help the cataloger decide whether or not a subject heading is required, TGMI recommends, among other things, asking at least two important questions:
Is this image informative regarding [the heading in question];
If I were a researcher of [the heading in question], would I appreciate this item?
Catalogers of the King County Snapshots databases have aspired to ask these questions whenever in doubt.
General and specific entries:
For topical subject headings, only the most specific term should be used. A broader term and a narrower term in the same hierarchy should not be used simultaneously unless necessary.
Specific name headings on the other hand should be paired with a general topical heading when available; for example, in another database, Moran Brothers Company (Seattle, Wash.) has been used with Boat & ship companies--Washington (State)Seattle.
A similar type of general/specific pairing has been required across fields as well; specifically, specific name headings in the Places or Personal Names field have been paired with general topical headings in the Subjects field. Thus, for example, when it is necessary to use Cedar River (King County, Wash.) in Places, Rivers--Washington (State)--Maple Valley should be entered in Subjects.
Geographic subdivisions:
Geographic subdivisions should be applied to TGM headings as often as possible. With few exceptions, the Maple Valley Historical Society Photograph Collection subject headings have the following subdivision string appended: --Washington (State)--[city name] as follows:
Automobiles--Washington (State)Maple Valley
Pioneers--Washington (State)--Hobart
Headings for geographic subdivisions are taken from the Library of Congress Authority File at HYPERLINK "http://authorities.loc.gov" http://authorities.loc.gov. Parenthetical qualifiers should be omitted. When a specific location is not listed the Library of Congress Authority File, look in the Tacoma Public Librarys Washington Place Names database (for Washington state places) at HYPERLINK "http://www.tpl.lib.wa.us/v2/nwroom/wanames.htm" http://www.tpl.lib.wa.us/v2/nwroom/wanames.htm and at the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic names (for Washington places not in TPLs Washington Place Names database) at HYPERLINK "http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn" http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn.
Geographic subdivisions will represent the place of depiction (not, for example, the place of origin).
When the current place differs from the historic place name, the current place name should be used. (Historic place names are entered in the Title field.)
When the place or setting is unknown, the heading should not be subdivided. If the complete subdivision string is not known, a partial string is okay (for example, AutomobilesWashington (State) when the city cannot be determined but the car pictured is clearly in the state of Washington).
King County should not be used to complete a geographic subdivision. County names are not used as subdivisions.
[Note: many TGM headings do not recommend the use of geographic subdivision (this is expressed by the omission of a facet indicator beneath a term in the thesaurus); however all King County Snapshots databases have used geographic subdivision whether or not TGMI recommends such subdivision.]
Nationality subdivisions:
Some headings that do not have geographic subdivisions appended have nationality subdivisions instead. This has been done when a TGMI heading recommends the use of nationality subdivisions rather than geographic (this appears in the thesaurus in a facet indicator beneath the selected heading). These recommendations have not always been followed, so catalogers judgment is a determining factor on whether or not a nationality subdivision is used.
In most cases, a geographic subdivision has been appended to a nationality subdivision, even when not recommended by TGMI.
Nationality headings should be taken from Library of Congress Authority File.
Other subdivisions:
Chronological subdivisions have not been used.
Subdivisions for names of ethnic, racial, and regional groups and with classes of persons (TGMI Appendix A), subdivisions with names of wars (TGMI Appendix C) and subdivisions used with corporate bodies and named events (TGMI Appendix D) have been used as appropriate.
[Note: TGMI Appendix B, Subdivisions Used With Names of Persons has not been used.]
Subject Headings or devise a new subject heading for submission to LC.
A date (year only) may be the last element of the term.
Examples of complete Subjects fields: [Note from tg: are these all valid TGM examples? I dont think so]
Schools--Washington (State)--Hobart
Bell towers--Washington (State)--Hobart
Pioneers--Washington (State)Hobart
Women--Employment--Washington (State)--Maple Valley

Railroad tracks--Washington (State)--Maple Valley
Railroad cars--Washington (State)--Maple Valley
Commercial streets--Washington (State)--Maple Valley
Utility poles--Washington (State)--Maple ValleyPersonal NamesSubject: searchable, public fieldNames of people depicted in the image. Headings should be taken from the Library of Congress Authority File at HYPERLINK "http://authorities.loc.gov" http://authorities.loc.gov.
List only names of persons in this field; corporate names (organizations) and names of events and structures should be entered in Subjects; names of geographic and political places should be entered in Places.
If a name is not found in the Library of Congress Name Authority File, other sources can be consulted, as appropriate. If the name is not found in any source, the most commonly found form should be entered.
Each name in this field will have one and only one form. Alternate forms can be listed in Notes (specifically using Note type 5).
Subdivisions have not been used with names of persons.
Invert personal names (Lastname, Firstname).
Separate headings using a single break (that is,
).
When people are seen in an image but are not identified, enter Unidentified. However if any single name is entered in Personal Names, the word Unidentified should not be used. Also, if there are no people seen in the image, the field should be left blank.
When several names have are required to describe an image (such as with class photos) the names have been alphabetized by last name.MVHS CategoryEnter the MVHS category; all such categories as of October 24, 2003 were taken from the image worksheet accompanying each image.PlacesCoverage: searchable, public field; required fieldName of the political and physical/spatial settings of the content of the resource, as well as geographic features seen in the image. This includes states, cities, counties; mountains, bodies of water, etc., by specific name. Park names should also be entered here; however built structures like canals should be entered in the Subjects field.
Place names not listed in either authority file should not be used in Location Depicted; instead a subject heading or Note should be created.may warrant the creation of a local heading. Consequently our ultimate authority will be a local authority file. Also, a SACO proposal should be drafted for any significant place names not found in LCSH.
Form of entry for cities and states: [CountryState or ProvinceCity]. Name forms should be taken from the Library of Congress Authority File at HYPERLINK "http://authorities.loc.gov" http://authorities.loc.gov. When a specific location is not listed in the Library of Congress Authority File, look in the Tacoma Public Librarys Washington Place Names database (for Washington state places) at HYPERLINK "http://www.tpl.lib.wa.us/v2/nwroom/wanames.htm" http://www.tpl.lib.wa.us/v2/nwroom/wanames.htm, then in the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic names (for Washington places not in TPLs Washington Place Names database and all other places) at HYPERLINK "http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/" http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/.
When entering city and state names from the Library of Congress Authority File using the [CountryStateCity] string format, it is necessary to reformat the headings (this usually requires removing parenthetical qualifiers).
Form of entry for counties, neighborhoods and geographic features are not entered as strings and should be entered exactly as they appear in LCSH.
Entries in this field should represent the setting as it is currently designated. Any historical setting names should be entered in Title and Notes as appropriate.
Examples of cities:
United States--Washington (State)Maple Valley
United States--Washington (State)--Landsburg
Examples of counties (not yet used for the Maple Valley Historical Society Photograph Collection):
Snohomish County (Wash.)
King County (Wash.)

At present all scanned items have been photographs.Physical DescriptionType: searchable, public field; required fieldDescribes the resource scanned.
Generally follows AACR2R Chapter 1, Section 5, except specific material designation is taken from the Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials II: Genre and Physical Characteristics Terms (not from AACR2R Chapters 2-13) available online at HYPERLINK "http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/print/tgm2/" http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/print/tgm2/.
This format consists of the following elements: [the quantity] [space] [what the object is as described by TGM II] [space] [colon] [space] [whether the image is b&w or color] [space] [semi colon] [space][the object dimensions in inches, rounding up to the nearest 1/16 inch, recorded as height x width].
[Note: AACR2R requires dimension rounded up to the nearest 1/8 inch, which is what all other institutions did while participating in the King County Snapshots project. The Maple Valley prints were measured early in the project, before the 1/8 inch standard was adopted; the images have not been re-measured. Any future measurements can feel comfortable rounding up to the nearest 1/8 inch however.]
When measuring the object, either (1) the whole object has been measured (so that mats, mounts, etc. are included in the dimensions), or (2) the image space only has been measured. The latter method measuring the whole object has been the preferred method during the King County Snapshots project. Both methods however have been used.
Examples
1 photographic print : b/w ; 8 x 9 13/16 in.

26 questions concerning the MOHAI data dictionary:
Is the order of the data fields accurate?
Photographer field: do we want to invert names?
We have listed Photographer as a required field. This means we will enter Unknown when we do not know a firm or photographer name. Is this what we want?
Did we discuss date-recording procedure? We are currently going to record the date of the original photograph, with a note for any copies.
Do we want to have a caption credit note? In Notes field? In caption field?
Will the Subjects field include obsolete place names, or should these go in the Places field?
I forget what we decided: subject field will or will not duplicate Places (and Names) information?
Subjects field: form and genre terms okay?
Will the Personal Names field include people associated with the image in addition to those depicted?
If Personal Names is only people depicted, can we rename the field to something more transparent, like People Depicted?
Should we invert names in Personal Names?
Places field: are we going to depend ultimately on a Local Authority File (as the data dictionary recommends)? We are going to use the LC AF first, then Tacoma Public Library, right? If the place is not found in either Authority File, we arent going to create a subject heading in Subjects, are we (the data dictionary does not require this at present)? Two questions asked above are pertinent here too: (1) what do we do with obsolete place names; (2) are we going to enter a Places term and a subject term? Please note we will be diverging from UW practice in several ways if we leave the data dictionary as is.
Note: it is UW practice to precede all strings with United States and Canada, even though this is not required by AACR2R.
What will be the content of the Digital Collection field (including: what is the name of the digital?
What should be the content of the Ordering Information field?
Is the wording in Repository correct?
What specific information will be appropriate to Physical Description while other similar information about the original resource will be put in Digital Reproduction Information?
Where can we see the MOHAI authority list for object types? If a term is not on the list, what should we do? Should we make any effort to use TGM II (or should we restrict the use of those terms to the Subjects field)? If we use TGM II terms in the Subjects field, where should we draw-the-line (considering all form terms should be found in either Physical Description or Digital Reproduction Information)?
Do we want to include size in Physical Description? Do we want to include condition? Anything else? (In the other image database, MOHAI followed AACR2R rules at least for puntuation -- and treated the field like a MARC 300 field, it appears should we do that again?)
Should Digital Reproduction Information contain duplicated information? Maybe the same information in a different form?
Does the Digital Reproduction Information contain an acceptable description of the scanning process? Should we establish any other specific instructions for this field?
Where can we find information for Acquisition and for Required Credit Line?
We would like an example for Required Credit Line.
Can we get the location codes for the various collections?
The Administrative Notes may present a possible problem as a searchable/hidden field. We dont want records to be retrieved based on terms found in this field. We may like to tag it with xyz to easily retrieve any records that contain any values before the site goes-live. Once the site goes live, we should probably make this field non-searchable. The field can easily be converted back to a searchable field temporarily by an Administration Station user.
We do want a white band, black type, verdana font, with 30 pixels for the band itself and 8 pixels for the font? This is exactly the same as UW bands.
