[DCRM-L] Catalog records for British Acts

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Hi Meghan,

Here's the Folger's cataloging policy on British and Irish government documents in case you find it helpful: http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/British_and_Irish_government_documents

You will see that we deliberately deviate from AACR2 and RDA in formulating uniform title, for reasons that I think make a lot of sense. Please feel free to look through Hamnet<http://www.hamnet.folger.edu/> for examples, but BE WARNED that there are a lot of legacy records that do not conform.

Best,
Deborah

Subject: [DCRM-L] Catalog records for British Acts

Dear Colleagues,

I have to catalog a collection of 18 British Acts ranging in date from 1700 to 1932. I have no experience cataloging this type of resource. Can anyone point me to some model records in OCLC that I might use for assistance?

Thank you for your advice and suggestions,
Meghan
