Physical collections

Physical collection records provide information on the sources of a digitisation project. They are simple records, since the focus of MICHAEL is on digital collections.

1) Overview of the form

Physical collection records may be created with a form divided in three parts or screens:

A) Identification and description

This is the main section, with all information except the links and system metadata.

B) Links towards other records and external resources

Links can be use to create relationships with owning or responsible institutions, other parts of the physical collection, etc.

C) System metadata and local data

As for any record type, some system information is defined here.
