Master Encoding Guide: Series

Record Content: Series

Some records will have a handwritten code on the bottom right corner consisting of a Roman numeral, either “II” or “III”, followed by an Arabic number. Only the Roman numbers should be transcribed and should be tagged with <series>. The encoder need only verify that this code is valid. If not, check with project manager for possible slip error.

Example:

<series>II</series>

<series>III</series>
