This is a demonstration catalogue created to accompany the Community Archive Cataloguing Guidelines.
A small number of sample entries have been completed to illustrate the guidelines. As described in the guidelines, these entries have been organised into groups. Some items are only described at the group level.
The software used to create and display this demonstration catalogue has no connection with the Guidelines and was provided free of charge by www.communitysites.co.uk.
The Anytown Community Archive was set up in 1997 by a group of volunteers. There are now 800 items in the collection, consisting mainly of photos and documents relating to Anytown and the surrounding area. Approximately half the collection consists of original objects that have been given to the Archive; the remainder are digital copies of originals that are in the care of the contributors. Most of the photos show buildings and street scenes. There are also three collections of oral history interviews with local people, on the themes of Transport, Entertainment and Health. The collection is organised into groups of items that were either donated by a particular contributor or were collected through a particular project.
700 photos and 100 oral history interviews.
