Field Book Project, Mostly Metadata panel session, Smithsonian Digitization F...Carolyn Sheffield
The document discusses metadata for digitized field books from botanical expeditions. It describes creating metadata for the physical objects, digital surrogates, and linking related information. Examples include creating EAD, MODS, and SNAC records to provide names, dates, locations and descriptions for botanist Frederick Coville and his field books from 1890-1924. The project aims to make these historical resources more accessible online by developing the metadata and linking relevant information across systems.
The document discusses the development of a project to connect field book collections across different institutions through metadata standards like EAC, MODS, and NCD. It provides examples of the types of information found in field books and outlines next steps for the project such as testing the ingest process with partners and ongoing development of tools and features. The overall goal is to make field book collections more accessible and bring related materials together.
The Field Book Project at the Smithsonian and California Academy of Sciences aims to improve access to biodiversity field books through cataloging, conserving, and digitizing them. The projects seek to connect field books to specimens and published literature by creating metadata records and developing a Smithsonian Field Book Registry. Partners will contribute records to bring together field notes, specimens, and publications and enable data mashups through platforms like the Encyclopedia of Life and Biodiversity Heritage Library. Future work includes refining the registry, adding authority records, acquiring more content and partners, and transcribing field notes to further link this biodiversity data.

Summer 2012: The Field Book Project is holding a series of brown bags for the departments participating in the project. Each brown bag is presented by a cataloger who has worked on field books within that department. Presenations contain similar content.
The document discusses plans for a project to link data across Smithsonian collections, archives, museums and libraries. It outlines an initial analysis of data on people represented in the collections. The analysis found over 58,000 individuals represented. Next steps discussed include creating pages for individuals that appear across different datasets, with a web interface for staff and researchers to define links over time. The goal is to connect related information and reveal new insights through linking data in a scholarly manner.
This document provides an introduction to a thesis examining how the collecting practices of Burton Y. Berry affected the Berry collection of ancient jewelry and artworks donated to Indiana University. It notes that Berry left little documentation with the collection, but wrote extensively elsewhere about acquiring pieces. The thesis will use Berry's own writings and secondary sources to examine his motivations and how the lack of provenance impacts scholarship, potentially spreading incorrect assumptions. Specific jewelry sets from the collection that seem assembled by dealers, not as original contexts, will be analyzed to demonstrate how collector practices shape understanding of the artworks.

This document discusses the challenges of representing cultural heritage digitally in an integrated and contextualized manner. It argues that current digital representations are still fragmented and disruptive due to using rigid classifications rather than conceptual models that capture relationships. The paper advocates learning from past practices like Wunderkammer collections that integrated diverse objects conceptually. A conceptual reference model is proposed to bridge divisions between collections and allow exploration of heterogeneous cultural data in meaningful ways.
Creating a network of connections: how the Biodiversity Heritage Library adds...Elycia Wallis
This talk was given at the Open Repositories 2017 in Brisbane, Australia. It discussed how digitised literature in the Biodiversity Heritage Library can be used in many ways, including as a source of scientific data; beautiful historic artworks; and to provide the taxonomic community with sometimes rare or inaccessible first descriptions of new species.

This document provides an overview of early paleolithic art beginning in Africa. It discusses the Magapansgat pebble from South Africa dated to 3 million years ago, which some believe represents early symbolic thinking. Mobiliary art, or small portable sculptures, emerged later, often depicting animals which were important for survival. Female figurines also appeared, like the Venus of Willendorf dated to 28,000 BCE, which focused heavily on fertility features. Scholars debate the meaning and purpose of these figurines. The document outlines the evolution of increasingly sophisticated art in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period beginning around 50,000 years ago, reflecting the cognitive developments of modern humans.
The document provides an overview of early human art from the Paleolithic period, beginning around 77,000 BCE. Key points discussed include engraved ochre fragments found at Blombos Cave in South Africa dating to 77,000 BCE, which represent some of the earliest known examples of human artistic expression. Other early art discussed includes cave paintings from Lascaux, France around 15,000-13,000 BCE depicting animals such as bison and horses. The document examines debates around defining art and discusses how archaeological discoveries are continually updating our understanding of early human history and artistic practices.

3. Plan your space: I've arranged the pieces on the movable wall panel with larger pieces on the bottom and smaller pieces fitting together on top in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
4. Write labels: I've written an interpretive label providing context about
The document discusses the origins and founding of the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art (LACMA). It describes how Agricultural Park, originally a site for gambling and drinking, was transformed into Exposition Park by William M. Bowen. Bowen advocated shutting down Agricultural Park due to its negative influence. The museum was then founded in Exposition Park in 1910 by a board of directors representing local institutions. It opened with diverse exhibits representing the county's history, art, science and more. The museum's opening celebration in 1913 coincided with the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, marking Los Angeles' growth.

This document summarizes the conservation of a print titled "The Pursuit of Pleasure: A Vision of Human Life" owned by the Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri. The print, created in 1864, was in poor condition with a yellowed and brittle paper. Through cleaning and repair, the conservation restored the print to an exhibitable condition. The print depicts a scene from a 1855 painting and shows human figures indulging in various vices as they are lured by the goddess Pleasure. The restoration revealed the intricate details of the print and allowed the museum to preserve this piece of art for future generations.

Editor's Notes
I won’t go into too much detail here, but this diagram may do a better job of showing how our descriptive practices can link resources and provide that context. As I mentioned, we describe at the item and collection level. We also use EAC to create authority files for Organizations, people and expeditionsI’m just going to give you the basic concept, which I think is more interesting than the nuts and bolts of it anyway.EAC authority files providebiographical background on field book creators… so we can see where they are from, who they studied with, etc. Also for organizations and expeditions.You can also link these histories… so that we get this kind of historical social network… who was doing what with whom, where and when.Able to link field books related to same person/organization/expedition.
