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.
