This page gives an overview of our work with manuscript cataloguing using TEI, manuscript inventory, and related workflows. It is, at time of writing, primarily intended as:

* A 'everything in one place' page to store the range of documentation and engagement work developed so far.
* A drafting space for the evolving TEI and inventory documentation.

* Catalogue sources for the manuscript collections are not uniform. Some collections only have PDF or print catalogues and no Sierra or Calm presence, some only have dummy entries in Sierra, and some are scattered across different cataloguing efforts, published or internally circulated.

The following documentation for Phases 1 and 2 of manuscript inventory situates our work within these challenges.

# Condition

**Condition**&#x20;

* **A**- No work required. Pristine, or already conserved or rebound items. Items that at time of assessment require no conservation
* **B**- Good. Stable, suitable for all library uses i.e. exhibition, copying, consultation. Only very minor damage such as localised surface dirt, and very minor tears for example. No part of the item is in a vulnerable state.
* **C**- Fair. Stable although damaged. Suitable for consultation. For example damage may include tears and some loss but the item is not inherently unstable.
* **D**- Poor. Unstable items. At risk of further damage under normal consultation. For example extensive structural problems including - embrittlement, mechanical damage, mould damage, risk of loss and further deterioration.
* **E**- Bad. Highly unstable items. Not suitable for consultation. For example major mould infestation, blocking, extensive fragmentation, high fragility.&#x20;

Highly valuable items where producing them to readers would put them at risk of unacceptable damage.

Anyone doing manuscripts inventory should first have a handling training session with conservation.&#x20;

Any other numbers will also be recorded during phase 2 of the inventory. These numbers are a good starting point for investigating provenance of items in our collections. We should record these numbers for catalogued and uncatalogued material and if there are multiple numbers, these should be recorded and separated by the use of a semi colon.

We want to avoid a level of fresh description that sits closer to cataloguing than inventory. In cases where the acquisition history of an item is unclear, and the item for instance presents as scattered, illustrated folia from what may or may not have been conceived as a gathered manuscript, the choice of category can imply a level of information or knowledge about the item that we do not actually have.
