Master Encoding Guide: Copy

Record Content: Copy

Many records will include a format designation, usually on the fourth line, following the page number. The most common text will be: MS, Xpr, EnlPr, Xerox, microfilm, Photostat. These abbreviations and any text following should be coded with the <copy> tag and the information will be controlled using @format. There are only four @formats to chose from: Photocopy, Manuscript, Microfilm, Digital Image.

Example:

<copy format="Photocopy">Xerox print</copy>

<copy format="Manuscript">MS</copy>

<copy format="Microfilm">microfilm</copy>

<copy format="Digital Image">Electronic achive scan</copy>
