Updating Existing History Pages
|
This entails (1) the completion of JSTOR scans and (2) conversion of the
data on the history pages to XML format.
The JSTOR data enriches the content of Repertorium
Veterrimarum.
The more history pages available in XML format, the closer we are to the
provision of a powerful search engine for the data in the history pages.

Creating More History Pages
|
This enriches the Repertorium Veterrimarum.
The tasks below support this enterprise.
|
|
Consulting Historical Sources
|
Historical monographs (particularly commemorative monographs) and
historical articles are generally the most authoritaive source of
historical detail useful in creating the history pages of the
Repertorium Veterrimarum.
|
|
Finding More Society Websites
|
Society websites can often be a useful source of information on
the society's history.
Some society websites, however, are sadly lacking in historical detail,
even for societies founded more than two centuries ago.
|
|
Finding More Journal Title Abbreviations
|
The discovery of journal title abbreviations (at present, through
Reuss and RSLC)
serves two purposes.
Firstly, it alerts us to the existence of a society.
Secondly, it provides some documentary evidence about the society's
journals, which can be incorporated into the society's history page.
