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. View
examples of our MARC records.
