More information about photographs

The Arkansas History Commission has provided all known information about the photographers and individuals associated with the images in the catalog records for these materials. This information is provided as a service to aid customers in determining the appropriate use of an item, but that determination ultimately rests with the customer. The nature of historical archival photograph collections means that copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine. The Arkansas History Commission would like to hear from individuals who may have additional information regarding the images found in this collection.

In addition, the AHC has completed limited research on each image in order to provide as adequate as possible information on each image. If further information is needed, it is up to the researcher to conduct such research to provide the needed information.

Cataloging the collection

The SOD team chose to upgrade existing photograph finding aids to MARC (machine-readable catalog) records for the Photo project. During cataloging additional research was also done on each image in an attempt supply additional data in the form of fuller names, birth and death dates, locations and photo dates.

Cataloging and research were accomplished by the AHC staff supplemented by additional staff hired by the SOD project including photo cataloging assistants (PCA), researchers and a UALR graduate assistant from the Public History Program. These employees created the MARC records under the supervision of Janet Berry, head of Arkansas State Library (ASL) Cataloging and her assistant, Michael Klossner. On February 29 - March 3, 2000, SOD brought in a MARC specialist from Amigos, our Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) supplier, who trained the SOD team, as well as the AHC archival manager and librarian. MARC record creation for the project materials began March 15, 2000. Upon completion of these original records, Berry uploaded them onto OCLC, then download them into the AHC OPAC.
