The little
information partners usually have about photographs at the point of
digitization, call number, dimensions, rights and repository that owns
them, is generally transferred to the lab’s tracking database. Once
digitization is completed, the data is exported from the database and
converted into MARCXML and together with the images, ingested into
the Center’s digital asset management system. These MARC records
with minimal description are designed to be enhanced, based on the
lab’s cataloging guidelines by partner catalogers once they have
obtained the missing information, such as title, date, and other added
entries.
