UT Libraries Metadata Documentation

This wiki space contains documentation relating to descriptive metadata for UT Libraries digital collections materials, including best practices, guides, workflows, and tutorials for specific programs or processing methods. "Digital collections" are defined but are not limited to materials within the UT DAMS/Collections Portal and its related collections sites HRDI and Primeros Libros, as well as self-contained repositories like AHPN and LADI. The documentation presented here is primarily for UT Libraries staff within the Alexander Architectural Archives, LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections, and the Perry-Castañeda Library.

Currently this space is maintained by the Metadata Analyst, Devon Murphy.
