Digitisation

The Hill Museum and Manuscript Library have produced a wealth of resources that are vital if you are considering a digitisation project. 

Cataloguing

When you are cataloguing and providing the metadata for an EAP project, you will need to access these websites:

• The Library of Congress transliteration tables for non-Roman scripts
• Library of Congress Subject Headings

It may also be useful to check the language and script codes that we use at the British Library.
