Background / Purpose

The purpose of the Music Programs project is to make available a series of music programs for interested researchers.

Scope

Phases of project
Based on item temporal coverage		 Phase 1: 1860s, 1950s-60s
Phase 2:
Phase 3:
Number of items to be digitized TBD
Total number of images
Assumption: one JPG derivative per each archival image created		 TBD
Total number of records TBD
Special considerations
  • Items in Phase 1 are bound via glue and are difficult to scan; shadowing on edges.  Camera or clear platen angled scanner bed required.  Possible loose-bound materials available in Special Collections to augment or replace runs.
  • Scrapbooked items often have duplicates if faced-down glued page contained information.  Duplicates must be removed.

File Naming Convention

Formula

  • Prefix: mprog
  • ID: primary key from cataloging tool item table (left pad to 4 digits)
  • ID part: position in item (left pad to 3 digits)
  • Delimiter: underscore

Example:

Record #15 – 2/18/1972 performance of Bach’s English Suite in G, first page:

  • Archival file: mprog_0015_001_a.tif
  • Service file: mprog_0015_001_s.tif
  • Derivative: mprog_0015_001.jpg

[are we distinguishing between master and service files?]

If we had multiple parts to this item, we might have:

  • mprog_0015_002.jpg
  • mprog_0015_004.jpg
  • etc.
