Information about IASA

The International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) is an international non-governmental association, maintains operational relations with UNESCO, and was founded in 1969.

Purpose

The association supports the professional exchange of information and fosters international co-operation between audiovisual archives in all fields, especially in the areas of:

  • acquisition and exchange
  • documentation
  • access and exploitation
  • copyright
  • conservation and preservation

IASA membership

About 380 members from almost 50 countries represent a broad palette of audiovisual archives which are distinguished by their focus on particular subjects and areas, e.g. archives of all sorts of musical recordings, historic, literary, folkloric and ethnographical sound documents, theatre productions and oral history interviews, bioacoustic, environmental and medical sounds, linguistic and dialect recordings as well as those for forensic purposes.

Information and communication

The IASA Journal is published twice a year containing special contributions, reports and reviews. News of interest to the Association is published in the Information Bulletin which appears quarterly. Members receive both publications free of charge. Back issues are available in limited numbers.

IASA maintains a website which includes links to many related sites as well as current information. Here you will also find The IASA Cataloguing Rules as an electronic publication: http://www.iasa-web.org/

IASA activities

A yearly conference gives members the opportunity to meet and exchange news and information by open presentations, workshops, round tables, exhibits and demonstrations. The venue changes from year to year and is not restricted to a particular country or continent.

Introduction

Sound recordings

"Sound recordings are the embodiment of all kinds of sounds in some enduring material form, thus permitting them to be repeatedly perceived, reproduced, broadcast or otherwise communicated." WIPO Glossary, p. 240.

With regard to recordings of music and published literature, many different performers may record the same work e.g. Georgia on My Mind, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, or Shakespeare's Tempest. Also the same performer(s) may record the same work more than once. In each case, although the original work is the same, its realisation in sound will always be different every time that it is recorded. Hence each new recording is different.1

 

Footnotes:

1.Note: Often a recorded performance or event is simply referred to as a recording. Implicit here is the content of the recording, not its physical format for which the terms physical item or item are used

2. Coarse groove era here means the period from the 1890s to the 1960s, when recorded sound discs were predominantly made of shellac, and the playback speed of which may or may not have been standardised at 78 rpm.

3.Microgroove era here means the period when vinyl discs were manufactured and distributed, from 1948 to the 1990s.

Sound recording history

During the early period of sound recording, first with cylinders (Edison, 1877) and a little later with early discs (Berliner, 1887) and discs of the coarse groove era a performance or event was recorded as a one-off take during a recording session, and without the possibility to improve or edit the content of that particular recording.

To improve on a take an entire repeat performance was necessary. Each separate recording was, therefore, a separate sound recorded event. With the introduction of discs, matrix numbers were usually allocated by the recording company and often etched or stamped into the wax. The wax is the name given to the area between the grooves and the label on disc formats. Matrix numbers were used to identify master recordings. They were often added to the stamper during the production process, and are usually visible on the final pressing which was generally mass-produced for publication and sale to the public.

On occasions when another take was considered necessary to improve on the performance, a new matrix number would be allocated to the next disc, or a new take number added to the existing matrix number. Take numbers were applied incrementally and appear after the matrix number, sometimes preceded with a hyphen. As with matrix numbers, take numbers may be numeric or alphabetic.

Each recording company applied its own matrix and take number system, and without a good knowledge of the company in question, it is sometimes difficult to identify a matrix and take number. The following made up examples, however, illustrate some of the types of systems used by record companies to apply take numbers:

 

A1234-1 A1234-2 A1234-3
A1234A A1234B A1234C
1234 1234-A 1234-B
1234 1235 1236
1234 1234-x 1234-xx

 

Occasionally special symbols such as an x in a circle, triangle, or square have been used to indicate takes. (Note that with some record companies though, these types of geometric symbols, or other characters in circles located after or near the matrix number, were used to indicate the type of electrical system used for making the recording rather than the take.)

The best performance was then selected for publication and the corresponding matrix number (and possibly take number) would usually appear on the final product. With record companies selling and buying businesses, the record label and catalogue number on the different publications could change for the same recording over time. The matrix and take numbers (almost without exception) would, however, remain constant for that particular sound recording.

For discs produced during the coarse groove era then, the matrix and take numbers usually uniquely identify the particular recorded performance or event.

The opportunity to edit the audio content of a sound recording came as early as 1898 with wire recordings. However, the techniques, associated with editing wire were developed more extensively with the introduction of tape in 1934 (which became commercially available from 1937). Audio tape presented the possibility of editing by splicing for the first time. Today, there are many editing techniques: multi-tracking, patching, mixing and remixing the tracks (with the possibility of also including additional new tracks made in a later recording session).

Digital technology also allows sampling and a kind of 'virtual reality' by superimposing various recordings to create a new work through the ear and hand of the sound engineer.

The sound which is eventually fixed is what is then recognised as the recording. Another remixed or digitally remastered version, or an edited extract, used for instance as an audio clip in an interactive multimedia product, or as an example during a lecture, radio programme, interview, etc., is effectively a new recording for the purposes of identifying it usefully within an audiovisual collection.

Consequently, the usefulness of the matrix number to positively identify a particular sound recording has waned for post coarse groove era audio formats. Its usefulness to identify the side of an unlabelled disc through the production process has, however, continued through the microgroove era at least.

In the 1980s the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) was developed by the International Federation of Phonographic Industries (IFPI) and standardised as ISO 3901:1986. This code is similar to ISBN in structure and purpose and is designed to uniquely identify each individual recording. It has been implemented in many countries. Other standard numbering systems under development at the time of writing and which are relevant to audiovisual archives are: International Standard Work Code (ISWC) to identify "any musical composition from songs to symphonies to advertising jingles"; and the International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) to identify "audiovisual works from television shows to films to multimedia product … transmitted to worldwide audiences via broadcast, satellite, cable, on-line services and the Internet". These are being developed by International Confederation of Authors' and Composers' Societies (CISAC) as part of the Common Information System (CIS). Unique identifiers for persons as contributors to sound recordings (i.e. as authors or performers) are also under development.

Such numbering systems will be essential metadata components within fully automated archives, such as digital mass storage systems, but are not so vital to the traditional approach addressed by these rules. In any case, the numbers are intended to be digitally encoded on the recording and will therefore be invisible to the human eye without specialised decoding software. However, some record companies have printed ISRCs on the packaging, and these should be recorded in Area 8, e.g. DE-A14-93-514-00.

Appropriate cataloguing treatment of sound recordings and related audiovisual items

An archive or cataloguing agency may sometimes need to determine the most appropriate cataloguing treatment of audiovisual material, both within the context of the original work, and its performance, realisation or expression, and/or within the role and function of the archive itself.

Where a format for a moving image item is being described, it is anticipated that cataloguing rules appropriate to cataloguing film (e.g. the FIAF Cataloguing Rules for Film Archives) would usually apply.

There may be some cross-over or other type of relationship between moving image and recorded sound formats, however, and the following suggestions are given.

Where a film sound track for a moving image item occurs on disc, as with early sound film; or where physical components for a pre-composite film print are being described (including a film sound track on magnetic audio tape) it is recommended that the the item be catalogued in its capacity as a moving image item.

If, however, a sound recording item were merely captured on U-matic video (sometimes used as an early digital sound format) or on a sound track film format, it is recommended that the item would be catalogued in its capacity as a sound recording.

In each of the above cases, where additional specialist guidance for the physical description of the material is needed, it is recommended that appropriate specialist cataloguing rules for that type of medium be consulted.

Similarly, where a copy of the film sound track from a film production is edited and commercially published as a sound recording (e.g. in LP or CD format) this would be catalogued as a sound recording. In this case the recording would usually be edited to a shorter duration than the film sound track for the film production. It would therefore be a different recording from the original film sound track, and so not considered as part of the moving image item.

An amateur or home video of an opera production on stage may be intended to simply record the event of the performance. As with a sound recording, the main emphasis in cataloguing will therefore be on the created work (i.e. composer and title) and the particular live performance or expression itself (i.e. the opera company, conductor, and performers involved, and the date and place of the event). The medium of moving image coincidentally requires the appropriate general material designation of videorecording, and a physical description for the video. In addition the name of the person who shot the video may also be documented in the catalogue record.

In other instances, for example where a film production is intended to have an opera story complete with musical performance as the story, (e.g. Rosi's 1984 feature film Carmen) the resulting film would need to be catalogued as though it is a film production rather than as a performance of a musical work alone. As such the emphasis in the catalogue record would be on the title of the film with prominence given to the composer (if prominent in the opening credits), as well as to the film director, film producer, cinematographer, country of origin, production company and production date. The major vocal artists (star cast) at least, and the conductor would also be included, usually as a note.

Therefore, while the archive's and their clients' information retrieval requirements must be considered when cataloguing audiovisual materials, there are also other factors to consider. These include the necessity to discern the intention behind, and extent of creative input to, the final product to determine the best cataloguing approach for the material, the appropriate cataloguing rules to use, and the information to be highlighted as significant (see also 0.0.1.2-0.0.1.4).

In addition, each audiovisual medium (and often each format as applied within that medium) is part of an audiovisual culture unique to itself. In turn, that audiovisual culture is related to its historical era, and to the type of content (including duration of the recorded piece and its genre or style) in the format. The ability to recognise and respond appropriately to each particular era and culture relating to the various audiovisual media and formats is also necessary for cataloguing purposes.

With today's new technology and media, some moving image and electronic resource products could be considered as a contemporary means for communicating content which may otherwise have been exclusive to the recorded sound and radio media of the past (e.g. video histories vs oral histories; music videos vs long play recordings or singles; film or television productions of opera and ballet vs sound recordings and radio productions; and sound excerpts in interactive multimedia and other electronic resources). For this reason, film, video, television and electronic resources are also briefly addressed in these rules.

Analytic and multilevel emphasis

Audio content on early sound recordings was of very short duration (usually not longer than 4 minutes, e.g. wax cylinders, discs of the coarse groove era). Often composed musical works were abridged to fit into such a short playing time or were spread over several sides with carefully planned breaks for changing sides or discs. Frequently recordings on cylinders and single-sided discs were coextensive with the physical item.

Later, with double-sided discs, two (and sometimes more) separate recordings were contained on the one physical item.

Traditionally, in discography and in early gramophone library catalogues, the individual recordings would be described separately, and each description would include some piece of key 'linking' information back to the physical disc (e.g. label and catalogue number). Record shops and some sound recording libraries and archives traditionally filed their collections of published sound recordings (discs) on the shelf according to size, label and catalogue number.

With the introduction of the LP and EP, and more recently the DAT and CD, a single physical item could contain several recordings, and this multiplicity is increased with today's audio mass storage systems, and digital jukebox systems.

There are three methods to describe multiple recordings on a single item:

1. A contents note may be used to list the recordings contained on the physical item, which in itself is described as a unit (see 7.B.25);

2. A multilevel entry may be prepared for each recording. Multilevel description potentially provides scope to give more information about a recording than normally may be entered in a contents note. The multilevel structure is hierarchical, and the descriptions for the recordings are presented in the same order as the recordings occur on the physical item(s) (see 9.2); or

3. A discrete analytic entry for each recording may be prepared and then linked to the host item(s). The hierarchical structure of the multilevel approach is not a requirement for analytic cataloguing. Sometimes the same recording will occur on more than one host item. Thus the one analytic entry for a recording may be linked to as many host items as contain that particular recording (see 9.1). Also the use of a discrete analytic entry for each recording potentially allows a full bibliographic description complete with access points for the recording; it minimises duplication of effort to describe the occurrence of the same recording on more than one physical item; and, when a computer is used for cataloguing it allows for flexibility in producing lists and other reports such as discographies, catalogues, listings and carrier contents listings for tapes, DATs or CDs. These items may be published, unpublished, or broadcast items, or in-house archival preservation copies, dubbing masters or reference copies. (Note that an in-house copy may be a one-to-one copy or a new compilation in its own right, depending on the policy and procedures employed by the archive or cataloguing agency.)

The traditional layout of discographies has pre-empted the analytic approach, e.g.

BESSIE SMITH

Clarence Williams, piano
New York City, February 16, 1923
80863-5 DOWN HEARTED BLUES Col. A3844; CBS CG 33
80864-3 GULF COAST BLUES Col. A3844; CBS CG 33

(In this example, the main artist Bessie Smith features as the heading. Clarence Williams provides piano accompaniment. The place and date of the recording session are shown as in New York City on February 16, 1923. Following are separate lines for each recording showing (left to right) matrix and take number, the title, and publication details given as the record label and catalogue number. Here, both recordings are shown as having been published twice, as two labels and catalogue numbers occur after each title.)

It is the cataloguing agency's or archive's choice whether to apply multilevel or analytic cataloguing or not, or whether to include contents notes or not. These choices will depend on matters such as the volume of material to be brought under basic control and/or catalogued in full; the human and financial resources available to do this work; the priorities, commitments and goals of the archive or cataloguing agency; and the information retrieval requirements of the institution and its clients.

Personal and corporate names

Generally, names may be considered in two main groups for the purposes of cataloguing: personal names and corporate names.

Personal names have two broad categories of their own in relation to sound and other audiovisual recordings:

1. a) persons who have created the work that is interpreted and performed (e.g. composers, librettists, lyricists, authors, translators),

1. b) persons who create, collect or capture the recording (in the case of field recordings of ethnographic or wildlife content or environmental and mechanical sounds), and

2. contributors or participants who perform or realise the work, i.e. whose voices or instruments we hear on the recording (e.g. performers, singers, instrumentalists, interviewees, interviewers, speakers).

Corporate names also apply to creators and/or performers in relation to sound and other audiovisual recordings (e.g. orchestras, groups, bands, publishers, producers, broadcasters, distributors).

Record labels

Published sound recordings, which are mass-produced for commercial release, normally have printed labels affixed to the surface of the disc, spool or cassette. These labels denote the brand or trade name which the record company uses to market the recording, and also indicate the holder of the recording rights (i.e. the record company). Record companies often market sound recordings under a variety of labels. The different labels are designed to appeal to different sectors of the market, and to promote different types (styles, genres) of recordings. Labels have also been used to indicate pricing levels, e.g. whether a prestigious (expensive) first release or a budget (inexpensive) re-release.

Record labels are also bought and sold by companies, so that over time a particular label (and the recording rights associated with it) may pass through various ownerships.

For sound recordings, it is the record label which is presented as the publisher of a commercially issued (i.e. published) sound recording (see 3.D.2).

Although, not part of the information to be included in Area 3, the record catalogue number (which sometimes includes a prefix and/or suffix) for a published sound recording is inextricably associated with the label name. Record catalogue numbers are given in Area 8 together with the label name in The IASA Cataloguing Rules.

Sound record catalogue numbers

As record label and catalogue number information are always closely associated with each other, the following information about the development of the use of catalogue numbers is given here.

The catalogue number is any number used by the record company to identify a specific recorded sound item for ordering or stock control and sales purposes. Catalogue numbers have been applied to published sound recordings from the earliest commercial releases of cylinders.

The earliest discs were all one-sided. The catalogue number was therefore often the same as the matrix number for these discs. However, some single-sided discs also had specific catalogue numbers.

When double-sided discs were introduced (ca. 1905) many were given a separate catalogue number for each side. This proved a cumbersome method for identifying the discs and a single catalogue number soon became common to both sides of the disc.

Some discs, especially from the pre-1930 period however, also had a separate number to identify each side of the disc. This was known as a face number, and often appeared in addition to the catalogue number and to the matrix number. E.g., many early HMV discs display face numbers.

From the 1930s onwards, record catalogue numbers became more standardised and are usually easy to identify. Often a simple number was all that was used, but commonly a prefix of one or more letters was added to identify various series on the same label or just to make the plain number specific to that particular label. Less commonly, there were alpha-numeric prefixes and/or a suffix.

With the introduction of different disc formats, such as 45 rpm and LP records, the dominant types of records marketed in the 1950s, there was often a need to distinguish between different formats of the same recording (which might exist on both a 78 rpm and a 45 rpm disc) or to indicate different sizes of long-playing records (such as 10 inch and 12 inch LPs). This led to more complex catalogue numbers which frequently included prefixes and/or suffixes.

In the 1980s some discs (mainly LPs) began to show a variety of different numbers, including order numbers and other stock-control numbers, sometimes making it difficult to distinguish which is the actual catalogue number. There was also a tendency to use computer-generated numbers, usually a long sequence of digits. Later, the development of international standard numbering systems resulted in the use of codes (to identify the format) being part of the catalogue number (e.g. "-1" at the end of a number to indicate a vinyl disc, "-2" to indicate a CD, and "-4" to indicate a cassette release - all of the same published release of the recording).

Terminology

The terms published, unpublished and broadcast are used throughout The IASA Cataloguing Rules. They are broad categories which are defined and applied as follows:

Published items are produced for distribution to the public on a commercial scale; e.g., mass-produced and commercially issued or released sound recordings or electronic resources available for purchase through retail outlets or by mail order from commercial or trade catalogues; film productions distributed as prints for public screening in cinemas, or as mass-produced videos for purchase through retail outlets, or hire for limited periods.

Such items are usually attractively packaged and/or appealingly promoted. The packaging itself can lend a form of identity to an item to be catalogued (e.g. limited edition disc in sequined cover; cassette in breakfast cereal box).

Note that material available through some computer networks, e.g. the Internet, is also included in this definition.

Unpublished items are not mass-produced and are not available for commercial distribution (e.g. field recordings, oral history recordings, privately made recordings). They are usually unique, the only additional copies being in-house archival preservation copies, dubbing masters or reference copies. These items do not have the attractive packaging of published material and may lack adequate identification in the form of a label, or documentation on the item or its container.

Broadcast items are not mass-produced as a physical format. However, broadcasting is a form of publication as it is a means of publicly disseminating information. In audiovisual archives, these items normally comprise programme tapes (audio or video) or kinescope films (early sound/image TV recordings), do not have the attractive packaging of published material in many cases, and may lack adequate identification in the form of a label, or documentation on the item or its container. Information about the content of these items may sometimes be found only in scripts, national or regional programme listings, or in the announcements which form part of the recorded programme itself.

Bibliographic description. The term bibliographic description is applied here to mean a set of bibliographic data recording (i.e. documenting) and identifying an item regardless of the medium or format of the item. The more specific terms such as discographic and filmographic are implied as appropriate through the use of the term bibliographic in these rules.

Copyright and restrictions

Copyright legislation varies from country to country, but it always exists on more than one level for sound recordings. The range of rights which may apply includes recording rights, mechanical rights, performing rights and moral rights. Rules for documenting these are to be found at 3.F.1.5-3.F.1.7 and in Area 4.

With the increase in electronic commerce as a direct consequence of digital storage and distribution of sound recordings there are, at the time of writing, several international and regional initiatives underway which seek to standardise the various copyright elements outlined above in the form of machine-readable codes and numbers (e.g. ISWC, ISAN). It is too early to make provision for these developments in this first edition of The IASA Cataloguing Rules but such developments are being followed closely by IASA and Area 4 of these rules may therefore be substantially altered in the future.

In addition, special rights or restrictions may apply in the case of recordings from traditional societies, relating to ownership of the content by the society. These recordings are not always subject to or protected by national copyright legislation. Often these recordings are unpublished. It is a matter of professional ethics for archives and cataloguing agencies to acknowledge, document and observe such rights or restrictions.

Similarly, access to other unpublished recordings, e.g. oral histories, may also be restricted at the request of the person(s) recorded, and again it is the responsibility of the archive to acknowledge, document and observe any restrictions of this type.

Unauthorised editions

IASA does not condone the practice of making unauthorised, pirated, bootleg, etc., recordings. It is recognised, however, that sometimes an unauthorised or suspected unauthorised recording may be received by an audiovisual archive, e.g., a copy of the original release of Bob Dylan's Great White Wonder double album.When cataloguing such material, any information to be recorded about the illegality of the item should be confirmed to be correct as far as possible, and supported in a cataloguer comment (see 7.B.35), to eliminate any future implication of liability for the archive or cataloguing agency.

The IASA Cataloguing Rules specify requirements for the description and identification of sound recordings and related audiovisual media, assign an order to the elements of the description and specify a system of punctuation for that description. They are designed for use by sound and audiovisual archives as a guide in the preparation of cataloguing records and as a standard for the exchange of bibliographic information concerning sound and related audiovisual materials. Their provisions relate to the bibliographic records for sound and audiovisual archives in general, and may require elaboration in more specialised archives whose holdings are exclusively of a single format or type, e.g. radio programmes, advertisements, sound effects, wildlife recordings, ethnographic recordings, music.

Here the term audiovisual encompasses sound recordings, moving and still images.

The IASA Cataloguing Rules’ primary emphasis is on sound recordings, in particular:  

  • audio formats (published, unpublished and broadcast);
  • moving image formats where these could be considered to be a natural extension of audio formats (e.g. music videos, musical performances on laser disc ), or related to audio (e.g. simultaneous FM radio and television broadcasts); and
  • electronic resources (e.g. interactive CD-ROMs, audio content in jukeboxes and mass storage systems).

Special emphasis is given to information that is appropriate to include for different types of content on sound recordings and related audiovisual materials as identified above. Options and alternatives are presented to assist archives and libraries in deciding on the most suitable approach to cataloguing their collections, in order to meet the requirements of public service and archival imperatives.

The IASA Cataloguing Rules are designed to harmonise with the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. - 2nd ed., and the International Standard bibliographic description (Non-Book Materials) and to be able to be used in MARC or other cataloguing systems.

They address cataloguing issues concerning sound recordings and their natural extensions into other audiovisual media in more depth than AACR2. Briefly, the additional issues are cataloguing of unpublished and broadcast recordings, extra emphasis on copyright (Area 4) and greater emphasis on analytic and multilevel description (Introduction and Chapter 9). Additionally a chapter on item /copy level information (Chapter 10) is included, while appendices respectively cover the concepts of fonds and collection level cataloguing and terms and definitions for common conditions relating to sound recordings.

This work therefore does not seek to duplicate existing cataloguing rules and guidelines, but is intended to be compatible with and complement them, and to focus freshly on a variety of issues of particular relevance to sound and audiovisual archives.

Still images, paper based media, and remote access electronic resources as complete systems are not addressed in these rules.

0.0.1.2. Cataloguing of moving and still images

The FIAF Cataloguing Rules for Film archives and Betz, Elizabeth, Graphic Materials: Rules for Describing Original Items in Historical Collections have already been published, and to a considerable extent already address the cataloguing of moving and still images respectively. These should be referred to in the first instance for cataloguing of moving and still images.

Clearly, where a sound recording is contained in a moving image format , or alternatively a recorded sound format is an integral part of a moving image work, it will be necessary to discern which are the appropriate rules to apply for cataloguing the item . For some discussion on this see Appropriate cataloguing treatment of sound recordings and related audiovisual items in the Introduction to these rules.

0.0.1.3. Cataloguing of electronic resources

Furthermore, the Guidelines for bibliographic description of Interactive Multimedia and ISBD (ER): International Standard bibliographic description for Electronic Resources have been published and should be referred to for detailed guidance on cataloguing electronic resources. In particular, ISBD (ER) should be consulted for cataloguing of remote access systems as a whole.

0.0.1.4. Fonds and collection level cataloguing

These rules also cover the concept of fonds and collection level cataloguing to the extent that it may apply to cataloguing of sound recordings and related audiovisual archives and collections. ISAD(G) : General International Standard Archival Description; Bureau of Canadian Archivists, Rules for Archival Description; and Hensen, Stephen L. (comp.), archives, Personal Papers and Manuscripts: A Cataloguing Manual for Archival Repositories, Historical Societies and Manuscript Libraries should be referred to for in-depth guidance on cataloguing a fonds or collection, and its series and files.

0.0.1.5. Analytic description

Analytic description is addressed in these rules. It is an especially important concept for cataloguing sound recordings. This is because individual sound recordings are usually grouped together on a particular sound carrier, and over time, the same sound recordings may be recombined in variant groupings on new carriers, or in remote access electronic resources available on the Internet , in a mass storage system or in a jukebox.

Analytic description permits a single analytic record for the individual sound recording to be linked to the catalogue record(s) for one or more host item (s).

0.0.1.6. Multilevel description

Multilevel description is also addressed in these rules. Multilevel description has traditionally been used in archives and cataloguing agencies which apply the technique of fonds and collection level cataloguing. Depending on the information retrieval requirements and cataloguing policies and resources of the particular archive or cataloguing agency concerned, multilevel description may or may not extend to the level of the individual recording.

0.0.1.7. Descriptive cataloguing and choice of access points

Developed from FIAF 0.1.3, para 2

These rules address bibliographic description for the purpose of identification of sound and audiovisual materials in a catalogue.

These rules do not address choice of access points, nor the development of authority files.

Subject access to materials is not addressed here, as it is understood that most countries would have their own subject thesaurus.

Rules for standardising personal and corporate name headings and for choosing names as access points are not addressed here. For guidance in establishing name access points and name authority records, archives should refer to the national or multinational codes, and to the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) publications, such as Form and Structure of Corporate Headings (for establishing name headings), and to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed., and Library of Congress Cataloging Service Bulletins (for establishing name headings and choosing names as access points).

Name information appearing on record labels and accompanying documentation and packaging is proven to vary considerably for the same name from source to source. It is therefore recommended that appropriate and scholarly reference works (e.g. specialised reference works and encyclopaedias, discographies, bio-discographies, etc.) and established name authority files be consulted to confirm correct spelling and data elements for name headings, as well as to assist with preparing useful see and see also references.

0.0 2. Purpose

Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.1.2

The primary purpose of The IASA Cataloguing Rules is to establish a norm in audiovisual archives for describing sound recordings conformant with other schemes for bibliographic description. The intention behind this primary purpose is to ensure that the cataloguing of sound recordings can be easily and efficiently incorporated into mainstream cataloguing activity.

The purpose of The IASA Cataloguing Rules, therefore supports that outlined in ISBD (NBM), 2nd ed.:

"to (A) make records from different sources interchangeable, so that the records produced in one country can be easily accepted in the library catalogues or other bibliographic lists of another country; (B) assist in the interpretation of records across language barriers so that records produced for users in one language can be interpreted by users of other languages; and (C) assist in the conversion of bibliographic records to machine-readable form."

FIAF 0.1.2, last para

For this reason every effort has been made to follow ISBD (NBM) wherever possible, particularly with regard to the prescribed order of descriptive elements and punctuation.

0.0.3. Use

0.0.3.1. Framework

Based on FIAF 0.1.3

The rules are intended to provide a framework for the maximum amount of descriptive information required in a range of archival cataloguing activities within a great variety of national and local environments. The elements of description listed in Rule 0.B. are therefore grouped into two categories, mandatory (if applicable) and optional or alternative. The elements listed as mandatory are essential for the effective exchange of bibliographic information, while archives and cataloguing agencies are encouraged to include as many of the optional elements as the information retrieval requirements of the institution and its clients, and resources permit.

0.0.3.2. Presentation of The IASA Cataloguing Rules and application of automation

The IASA Cataloguing Rules are primarily concerned with presentation of output rather than method of input, and so were written to be applied by sound and audiovisual archives regardless of the type, or even existence of, an automated system.

0.0.3.3. Preliminary rules

Preliminary rules are given at the beginning of Areas 1-8, Chapter 9 and 10. These are to:

a) reconfirm the punctuation preceding or enclosing each element of the description in the area/chapter, where appropriate;

b) reconfirm sources for information to use in that area/chapter; and may also

c) establish any general parameters (e.g. in Area 7) on how the rules which follow are to be applied.

In the case of this third category, any parameters given as preliminary rules are not necessarily intended to serve in place of the more specific rules which follow.

0.0.3.4. Citation of source materials throughout The IASA Cataloguing Rules Rules drawn from, or corresponding with, rules in other cataloguing standards or guidelines are sourced in The IASA Cataloguing Rules. For ease of use and comparison, an indication is given as to whether the rule is based on; developed, adapted, extended, extracted or extrapolated from the source or corresponding rules; or on rare occasions, is a variant rule.

0.A. Source of information

A suitable basis for the description of sound recordings, videos and interactive multimedia can usually be found in the accompanying documentation and container packaging. This information is usually fuller than that which can be accommodated on the relatively small area of the label or, depending on the medium, other normally designated ‘chief’ source of information.

Also, information printed on labels and on accompanying documentation or containers is sometimes inaccurate. Where resources permit it is recommended that cataloguers should check information on older published items against extant scholarship, e.g. discographies (see also 0.F).

Moreover, in the case of unpublished and broadcast material, the best written information about content may not be available from written information on/in the item itself, or its accompanying documentation or container. Resources such as field notes, contents listings, interview summaries or transcripts, correspondence, broadcast programme schedules (published) or programme documentation (privileged information held by the broadcaster), as well as the audiovisual content of the item itself may be required to develop a description. For this reason, the terms ‘chief’ and ‘prescribed’ sources of information are not used in these rules.

0.A.1.1. Sources of information for Areas 1-3, 6 and corresponding areas in Analytic and multilevel description (Chapter 9)
Expanded from AACR2 1.0A1, 1.0A2, 1.1A2

Take information recorded in these areas, and corresponding areas in Analytic and multilevel description , from:

the item itself (including any permanently affixed labels, or title frames);

  • accompanying textual material (e.g. cassette insert, CD slick, inlay or booklet, recording/project accompanying documentation such as correspondence, donor agreements, recordist’s worksheets, script, transcript, cue sheet);
  • a container that is an original part of the item (e.g. sound cartridge, videocassette, sleeve, container for video); or from
  • a secondary source such as reference or research works, a publisher’s or distributor’s brochure, broadcast programme schedule, abstract, index or other available finding aid, container which is not an original part of the item (e.g. a film can used to store a reel of film , tape box for storing audio tape), or the audiovisual content of the item itself.

If the information is taken from a secondary source, cite the source in a note, if appropriate (see 7.B.3).

Note: Title and performers from audio announcement

Note: Title and script writer from radio script. Performers and characters from back announcement on recording

Note: Title, performers and series from audition. Opening and closing theme and announcements missing. Assumed to be an episode of the radio serial "Dr Paul"

Note: Title from sleeve

Note: Description from field notes

Based on FIAF 0.3.8, 0.4

Enclose information in square brackets only when it is not available from any of the above sources of information, and where it is supplied by the archive or cataloguing agency on the basis that the information:
is known, or
is at least probable, and/or
in the case of title information, has been devised in the absence of a title in the sources of information, and/or constructed from available or known information.

Where this information is uncertain give a question mark after it.

Title: [Shark attack described by teenage male victim]

Title: [Clavichord? music]

0.A.1.2. Sources of information for Areas 5, 7 and 8, and Item/copy information according to Chapter 10
Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.5.2 para 2

Take information recorded in Areas 5 (Physical description), 7 (Notes), and 8 (Numbers and terms of availability) and as Item/copy information according to Chapter 10 from any appropriate source, including the item itself.

0.A.1.3. Sources of information for Area 4

For information recorded in Area 4, see 4.A.2.

0.A.1.4. Sources of information for items lacking collective title information
Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.5.1

In cataloguing an item comprising different works and lacking collective information pertaining to the whole item , treat the sources of information for the different works as if they were a single source. A common example would be a sound disc with a different label on each side

0.A.1.5. Sources of information for an item in several parts
Based on AACR2 1.0H2

Describe an item in several physical parts from information corresponding to the first part. If the first part is not available, use the first part that is available. If there is no discernible first part, use the part that gives the most information or best collective information (e.g. container). Show variations in the sources of information of subsequent parts in notes.

For kits, where the different components have individual sources of information, prefer the source that provides information that applies to the item as a whole and that includes a collective title.

0.A.1.6. Sources of information where the item is presented in different aspects
Based on AACR2 1.0H1 c)

If the information corresponding to the item presents the item in different aspects (e.g. as an individual item and as part of a multipart item), prefer the source that corresponds to the aspect in which the item is to be treated by the archive or cataloguing agency.0.A.1.7. Sources of information for recorded sound formats generated from the production process for a published sound recording

As with unpublished and broadcast materials, recorded sound formats from different stages of production (e.g. master tapes, metal mothers, test pressing s), may also be lacking in visible information.

Where the details for the corresponding published sound recording are available, base the information to describe a production format on the best available information which corresponds to the published sound recording. Include a note indicating the means of identification:

Note: Matrix numbers on metal mothers correspond with those on commercially released recording. Description based on details from published recording
(Example of two metal mothers corresponding to the two sides of a published disc)

Note: catalogue number and contents listing on master tape box corresponds with side B of commercially released recording. Description based on details from commercially released recording
(Example of one master tape corresponding to one side of a published disc).

Note: Test pressing with catalogue number only on plain white label. Description based on details from published recording and audition

Note: Promotional disc with "Not for sale" instruction pasted over commercial label. Description based on details from published recording

Note that a later release (publication) of the same sound recording will involve new recording rights, even if the publisher is the same. Moreover, a later release on a different label may also indicate a different publisher (and again different recording rights). Later releases, therefore, will normally require their own separate bibliographic descriptions.

0.B. Elements of description

0.B.1. Order of the elements of description

Developed from ISBD (NBM) 0.3.2
Developed from FIAF 0.2

The order of the elements of description is based as closely as possible upon the order prescribed in the ISBD (NBM). Elements are grouped into the following:

1. Title and statement of responsibility
2. Edition, issue, etc.
3. Publication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc., and date(s) of creation
4. Copyright
5. Physical description
6. Series
7. Notes
8. Numbers and terms of availability

The elements which appear in each area are set out in the following Outline. Not all areas will apply when describing individual items. For instance, Area 2 (edition) will not apply to unpublished items, while different parts of Area 3 (Publication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc., and DATe(s) of creation) will apply depending on whether the item is published, broadcast or unpublished, and Area 6 (Series) will only apply where the material described relates to a series.

Where analytic or multilevel description is employed, Chapter 9 (Analytic and multilevel description ) will apply. Where description of individual items/copies of the same physical item is employed, Chapter 10 (Item/copy information) will apply. For definitions of the terms, see the rules for each chapter and the Glossary.

0.B.2. Outline of the elements of description
Developed from ISBD (NBM) 0.3.2
Extracted from FIAF 0.2 (Area 4 element)

Precede each area, other than the first, with a period, space, dash, space (. - ) unless the area begins with a new paragraph. ISBD elements are underscored in the following list.

0.C. Punctuation

Based on AACR2 1.0C1

Precede each area, other than the first, or each occurrence of a note or number, by a full stop, space, dash, space (. - ) unless the area, note or number begins a new paragraph.

Precede or enclose each occurrence of an element of an area with standard punctuation as outlined above, and also prescribed at the head of each area.

Precede each mark of prescribed punctuation by a space and follow it by a space, except for the comma, full stop, hyphen and double hyphen and closing parentheses and square brackets. The comma, full stop, hyphen, double hyphen and closing parentheses and square brackets are not preceded by a space; the opening parentheses and square brackets are preceded by a space.

Precede the first element of each area, other than the first element of the first area or the first element of an area beginning a new paragraph, by a full stop, space, dash, space. When that element is not present in a description, precede the first element that is present by a full stop, space, dash, space instead of the prescribed preceding punctuation for that element.

Indicate an interpolation (i.e. data taken from outside the prescribed source(s) of information) by enclosing it in square brackets. Indicate a conjectural interpolation by adding a question mark within the square brackets. Indicate the omission of part of an element by the mark of omission (...). Precede and follow the mark of omission by a space. Omit any area or element that does not apply in describing an individual item ; also omit its prescribed preceding or enclosing punctuation. Do not indicate the omission of an area or element by the mark of omission.

When adjacent elements within one area are to be enclosed in square brackets, enclose them in one set of square brackets unless one of the elements is a general material designation , which is always enclosed in its own set of square brackets.

0.D. Levels of detail in description

Based on AACR2 1.0D

The elements of description in the rules provide for a maximum set of information. This rule sets out three recommended levels of description each containing those elements that must be given as a minimum by archives and other cataloguing agencies choosing that level of description. Choose the level of description on the basis of the purpose of the catalogue or catalogues for which the entry is constructed, and the resources available to carry out the work.

Include the minimum set of elements for all items catalogued at the chosen level when the elements are applicable to the item being described and when, in the case of optional additions, the archive or cataloguing agency has chosen to include an optional element.

0.D.1. First level of description

Adapted from AACR2 1.0D1 For the first level of description, include at least the elements set out below:

Title proper / first statement of responsibility. - edition statement. - First publisher, etc., date of publication, etc. - copyright. - Extent of item . - Note(s). - Number(s).

0.D.2. Second level of description

Adapted from AACR2 1.0D2 For the second level of description, include at least the elements set out below:

Title proper [general material designation ] = Parallel title : other title information / first statement of responsibility ; each subsequent statement of responsibility - edition statement / first statement of responsibility relating to the edition . - First place of publication, etc. : First publisher, etc., date of publication, etc. - copyright. - Extent of item : other physical details ; dimensions. - (Title proper of series / statement of responsibility relating to series , ISSN of series ; numbering within the series . Title of subseries, ISSN of subseries ; numbering within subseries). - Note(s). - Number(s). 0.D.3. Third level of description
AACR2 1.0D3
For the third level of description, include all elements set out in the following rules that are applicable to the item being described.

0.E. Language and script of the description

Based on AACR2 1.0E1, 1.0H1

In the following areas give information from the sources of information (see 0.A) in the language and script (wherever possible) in which it is presented:

Title and statement of responsibility
Edition, issue, etc.
Publication, production, broadcast, distribution, etc., and date(s) of creation Series

Where the sources of information have written, spoken, or sung in more than one language or script, prefer (in this order):

(i) information in the language or script of the written, spoken, or sung words if there is only one such language or script or only one predominant language or script.

(ii) information in the original language or script of the work if the words are in more than one language or script, unless translation is known to be the purpose of the publication, issue, etc., in which case use the source in the language of the translation.

(iii) information in the language and/or script of the archive or cataloguing agency, or that occurs first in the following list: English, French, German, Spanish, Latin, any other language using the roman alphabet, Greek, Russian, any other language using the Cyrillic alphabet, Hebrew, any other language using the Hebrew alphabet, any other language.

Replace symbols or other matter that cannot be reproduced by the facilities available with a cataloguer's description in square brackets. Make an explanatory note if necessary.

In general, give interpolations into these areas in the language and script of the other data in the area. Exceptions to this are:

a) prescribed interpolations and abbreviations
b) general material designations
c) other forms of the place of publication
d) statements of the function of the publisher, producer, distributor, broadcaster, etc.

If other data is Romanised, give interpolations according to the same Romanisation.

Give all elements in the other areas (other than the titles and quotations in notes) in the language and script of the cataloguing agency.

0.F. Inaccuracies

Varied from ISBD (NBM) 0.10
Varied from AACR2 1.0F1

See also: 9.0.B.2 If the written information in the sources of information is misspelt or inaccurate, supply the correct spelling or accurate word, and give a note indicating that the error has been corrected.Title: Greek salad
Note: The item incorrectly states: Greek salad

Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.10
Based on AACR2 1.0F1
Alternatively, in an area where transcription from the sources of information is required, transcribe the inaccuracy or misspelled word as it appears in the item . Follow such an inaccuracy either by [sic] or by i.e. and the correction within square brackets. Supply a missing letter or letters in square brackets.

Some of me pomes [sic] / by Pam Ayers

The Paul Anthony Buck [i.e. Brick] lectures

What your child really wants to know about sex and why / by Will[i]am A. Block

0.G. Accents and other diacritical marks

AACR2 1.0G1Add accents and other diacritical marks that are not present in the data found in the source of information in accordance with the usage of the language used in the context.

0.H. Capitalisation

Extrapolated from AACR2, Appendix A
Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.8

These rules and their examples follow capitalisation standards from the ISBD (NBM), and Appendix A in the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. - 2nd ed. That is, to capitalise the first letter of the first word in an area, sentence, of a parallel, alternative or section title, and of the first letter of proper nouns and additional words according to the appropriate usage in the language in which the material is catalogued.

Extracted from FIAF 0.7 Alternatively, archives or cataloguing agencies may choose to follow any established standard rules for capitalisation.

0.I. Examples

Extracted from AACR2 0.14
Based on ISBD (NBM) 0.9
The examples used throughout these rules are illustrative and not prescriptive. That is, they illuminate the provisions of the rule to which they are attached, rather than extend those provisions. Most examples are based on the description of existing items, but some fictitious examples have been included.

The terms, words or short phrases added to examples are in English in The IASA Cataloguing Rules. However, it is anticipated that when these rules are applied, these terms, words and short phrases will be given in the official language of the archive or cataloguing agency.

0.J. Abbreviations

Abbreviations used are those prescribed in Appendix B of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. - 2nd ed., and for playback speeds given in metric terms, from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections - Associated Audio Archives, Rules for Archival Cataloging of Sound Recordings.

0.K. Alternatives and options

Developed from AACR2 0.7Some rules are designated as alternative rules or as optional additions and some other rules or parts of rules are introduced by Optionally.

Rules or parts of rules flagged by the word Alternatively, acknowledge that different solutions to a problem, and differing levels of detail and specificity are appropriate in different contexts.

Rules or parts of rules flagged by the word Optionally indicate an optional addition or rule which may be applied to further enhance or clarify mandatory information.

Similar concepts may appear to be covered in more than one place in these rules. This is to provide the greatest level of flexibility for choosing appropriate policies, practices and procedures by archives and cataloguing agencies for similar or related information, in more than one possible area. For instance, some notes in Area 7 dealing with physical description, condition, conservation and preservation treatment, sound quality, copy being described, source of the material, would apply in the body of the cataloguing record if only one item or copy is described in each cataloguing record, while this information may be better handled according to Chapter 10 where more than one copy is held.

It is the archive's or cataloguing agency's choice to decide which alternatives and options to apply as policy, and which other alternatives or options to apply on a case by case basis.

1: Title and statement of responsibility

1.A. Preliminary rule

1.A.1. Punctuation
Developed from ISBD (NBM) Area 1, Punctuation pattern
Precede the title of a supplement or section by a full stop, space (. ).
Enclose the general material designation in square brackets ([]).
Precede each parallel title by a space, equals sign, space ( = ).

1.A.2. Sources of information
Expanded from AACR2 1.0A1, 1.0A2, 1.1A2
See also: 1.B.1.6, 1.B.7.1, 1.B.7.10
Take information recorded in this area from:

  • the item itself (including any permanently affixed labels, or title frames);
  • accompanying textual material (e.g. cassette insert, CD slick, inlay or booklet, recording/project accompanying documentation such as correspondence, donor agreements, recordist's worksheets, script, transcript, cue sheet);
  • a container that is an original part of the item (e.g. sound cartridge, videocassette, sleeve, container for video); or from

Where a title is supplied on the basis that it is known, or has been positively or probably identified, enclose the title in square brackets, and include a note explaining the source of information (see 7.B.3). Where the information is uncertain give a question mark after it.

[String quartet, no. 12] / Shostakovich
Note: Title identified from audition and reading of score

If no title can be found in any source, and it is not possible to positively or probably establish the title, it is necessary to devise a title. Where a title must be devised by the cataloguer there are two types of titles to consider:

  • devised descriptive titles for recordings which have no given titles
  • uniform, standardised or conventional form titles for specific categories of recordings

Enclose all devised titles in square brackets.

Note that for some classes of material, it may be appropriate for an archive or cataloguing agency to always supply a devised uniform, standardised or conventional title (see 1.B.7.1.2). 1.B.7.1.1. Devised descriptive titlesDevised descriptive titles should describe the recording as succinctly as possible and may include the topic, place, person and date as appropriate. Enclose the devised title in square brackets: [Bid for the 2004 Athens Olympics]

[Malta's Prime Minister, Mr Mintoff, talks on the renewal of British bases on the island, 1972-03-27]

[Mémoire orale sur le mont Lozère] 1.B.7.1.2. Uniform, standardised or conventional form titles
See also: 1.B.7.1
Uniform, standardised or conventional form titles are constructed and supplied according to the requirements of the content. These may be applied when a large amount of similar material is being catalogued, or if the archive or cataloguing agency is also specifically designed to support a particular area of study or interest (such as a scientific, ethnographic or traditional materials archive). Enclose the whole title in square brackets. Following are suggestions for developing uniform, standardised or conventional form titles for different categories of material.

The categories of material following are broadcast news, advertisements, field recordings (oral histories, other interviews, recordings with traditional or ethnographic content, wildlife and bio-acoustic recordings), sound effects and mood music, musical works, musical/theatrical improvisations, edited recordings, excerpts, and incomplete recordings. 1.B.7.2. Broadcast news
See also: 06_02 Construct the title with television or radio station call sign, or station name if better known, followed by the term news, and date.

[Coca-cola : family size : things go better with Coke : advertisement]

1.B.7.4. Field recordings, etc. Field recordings are normally the by-product of research by a collector who travels into the field for the purpose of documenting some aspect of life in that location. The focus of the research may be on the life and culture of a group of persons, or fauna in a particular region. The result of such a field trip will be a collection of recordings with accompanying written documentation. In addition, film may be shot, videos recorded and still pictures taken. For guidance on cataloguing material at the collection level, refer to the ISAD(G) : General International Standard Archival Description, Bureau of Canadian Archivists. Rules for Archival Description, or Hensen, Steven L. Archives, Personal Papers and Manuscripts : A Cataloging Manual for Archival Repositories, Historical Societies and Manuscript Libraries.

Recordings with the type of content indicated above may not necessarily be field recordings, for instance, an oral history recorded in a studio, recordings of wildlife in captivity, or a recording of traditional or ethnographic music made during a public performance by artists on tour. The following rules 1.B.7.5-1.B.7.8 provide guidance for devising suitable titles for these types of recordings. 1.B.7.5. Oral histories

Oral histories are in-depth interviews focusing on a person's life or career, or on an organisation's history or activities or part thereof. Construct the title with the term Oral history, the name of the interviewee(s) and the date of interview. Enclose the whole title in square brackets.

[Oral history. Interview with Leon Becker, 1990-08-14]

Alternatively, where the focus may be on the name or title of a project for which the interview was conducted, construct the title with the term Oral history, name or title of the project, and name of the interviewee and the date of interview. Enclose the whole title in square brackets. [Oral history. Memories of the British in India. Interview with Lady Squire, 1971-06-21]

If more than one oral history or interview has been recorded by the same person, it may be appropriate to include additional information such as the name of the interviewer to help readily identify the different oral histories or interviews.

Optionally, if the archive or cataloguing agency also places significance on the persons conducting the interviews, it may be appropriate to always include their name as a statement of responsibility. [Oral history. Interview with Leon Becker, 1990-08-14 / Graham Shirley, interviewer] Alternatively, should the archive or cataloguing agency have a method of retrieving all of its oral history recordings other than through the first words in the title (e.g. through a subject heading or some other classification system) then the term oral history could be relocated in the title, so allowing the inverted name of the interviewee as the filing point. [Becker, Leon : interviewed 1990-08-14 : oral history]

[Becker, Leon : interviewed by Graham Shirley, 1994-08-14 : oral history]

[Becker, Leon : interviewed by Phil Haldeman, 1994-01-20 : oral history]

Alternatively, where an archive deals with a variety of interviews, terms such as reminiscence or conversation may be used instead of oral history. 1.B.7.6. Other interviews including vox pops (vox populi) and promotional interviewsInterviews may also be conducted on any topic and may be in-depth, or brief. Vox pops are generally very short and are conducted by the broadcast media to record and use public opinion on a current topic in a broadcast. Promotional interviews are often broadcast to promote the work of a visiting or local celebrity, artist, or producer releasing a new recording, new film, appearing in or launching a new production, or competing in a forthcoming sporting event, etc. Commence a supplied title with the form, follow with the topic and date and name of the interviewer (and interviewee, if considered important). Enclose the whole title in square brackets. [Interview. Peter Burgis and James McCarthy] [sound recording] : [Australian musical composition between ca. 1920 and ca. 1950 / Verity James, interviewer, 1987-02-06]

[Vox pop. Frankfurt an der Oder floods, 1997 : eyewitness account of unidentified woman]

Alternatively, commence the title with the key topic and relocate the term designating the form within the title.

[Australian musical composition between ca. 1920 and ca. 1950] [sound recording] : [interview with Peter Burgis and James McCarthy / Verity James, interviewer]

[Frankfurt an der Oder floods, 1997 : eyewitness account of unidentified woman : vox pop] 1.B.7.7. Recordings of traditional societies and ethnic groupsConstruct the title with [Traditions. Locality. Name of the traditional society or ethnic group. Identification of the work]. [Traditions. Oceania. Solomon Islands. Malaita. `Are, `are. `Au tahana panpipe ensemble]

[Traditions. Oceania. Solomon Islands. Guadalcanal. Kongga. Hau kesa panpipe ensemble]

[Traditions. Australia. Northern Territory. Yuendumu. Walbiri language group. Rain dreaming ceremony = Ngapa]

Alternatively, where an archive or cataloguing agency deals only with ethnographic or traditional materials, or where this information is documented via a subject heading or other means of classification, it may not be necessary to commence the title with the term Traditions.

[Oceania. Solomon Islands. Malaita. `Au tahana panpipe ensemble] Optionally, where details such as place of recording and of the traditional society or ethnic group are presented elsewhere in the catalogue record (e.g. as subject headings, in specifically designated fields and/or through analytic or multilevel description) these details may also be omitted from the title for the recorded item. First level:
[Recordings of the Solomon Islands]

Second level:
[Recordings of Malaita]

Third level:
Segment 1[`Au tahana panpipe ensemble]

Segment 2[Wooden drums ensemble]

(Example of skeletal multilevel catalogue record) 1.B.7.8. Wildlife and bio-acoustic recordings Construct the title using all or some of the following: [Class. Family. Sub-Family. Tribe. Genus. Species = translation if required] [Insecta. Tettigoniidae. Conocephalinae. Copiphorini. Pseudorhynchus. mimeticus]
(Taxonomic name for a species of grasshopper)

[Aves. Elanus scriptus = Letter-winged kite]

Alternatively, give the translation only as the title, or additionally as a title added entry, if this is most useful for the clients of the archive or cataloguing agency and only a small number of such recordings are held in the collection.

Optional addition. Additional information elements which may be handled through notes or by the use of specified fields are place of recording (which may include locality; latitude and longitude; local and regional place name; grid applied by the archive or cataloguing agency) date of recording; name of recordist; sex of the recorded individuals; whether they are children, adolescents, adults; time of day; temperature; existence of other factors (e.g. wind, other environmental / ambient sounds); and for individuals recorded after capture, the date and place of capture of the individuals and subsequent preservation method of the individuals, if applicable, e.g. pinned, stuffed, alcohol (see 7.B.11 and 7.B.24). 1.B.7.9. Sound effects and mood musicSound effects and mood music are mostly used as production aids for radio, television and cinema. Construct the title with an appropriate term followed by a description of the effect or mood evoked and conclude with the real title of the original work if applicable. Enclose the whole title in square brackets. [Sound effect. Aeroplane. Jet take off]

[Sound effect. Fight. Two punches followed by heavy fall]

[Sound effect. Fight. Blow to head]
Note: Effect made by stick hitting cabbage head

[Sound effect. Car. Motor revs, tyres screech on acceleration]

[Mood music. Nuptial : Wedding march] / Mendelssohn ; arr. Wilson Additional descriptive information and access points may also be included as appropriate to assist in selecting a particular recording for use from many others with similar type of effect or mood. 1.B.7.10. Musical works
See also: 1.B.1.2 Where a title must be devised for a classical musical work and the work is identified, give all of the elements as prescribed for uniform titles in established codes, such as the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. - 2nd ed, Rules 25.25-25.35. Enclose such devised titles in square brackets. Note that a uniform title provides the means for bringing together all catalogue entries for a work when various manifestations (e.g. editions, translations) of it have appeared under various titles. A uniform title also provides identification for a work when the title, by which it is known, differs from the title proper of the item being catalogued. The need to use uniform titles varies from one catalogue to another and varies within one catalogue. [Trios, piano, strings, no. 2, op. 66, C minor]

[Le Nozze di Figaro. Voi che sapete. French] Alternatively, always give title proper information for classical music in square brackets and according to the appropriate uniform title structure applied by the archive or cataloguing agency.

For all other positively identified non-classical musical works requiring a supplied title (except recordings of traditional societies or ethnic groups described at 1.B.7.7, mood music described at 1.B.7.9 and improvised music described at 1.B.7.11), give the title of the smallest part of the whole work. and enclose it in square brackets. As appropriate, indicate the source of information in a note (see 1.A.2 and 7.B.3).

[Georgia on my mind]

[Singin' in the rain]

[You'll never walk alone]

not [Carousel. You'll never walk alone]

When it is not possible to identify the work, devise a descriptive title including indication of style or genre, and media (instruments and/or voices). [Classical style piano item in a major key]

[Lieder style song performed in German by baritone with piano accompaniment]

[Jazz item performed by piano, bass and drums]

[Jazz item (bebop) sung by soprano with electric piano accompaniment]

[Spanish guitar item]

1.B.7.11. Improvised music and stage performances If the item consists of a sequence of recorded improvisations under a given collective title, transcribe the title and supply a suitable descriptive phrase as other title information, in square brackets. Ra : [duo improvisations] / by Evan Parker and Paul Lytton
Note: Recorded at Moers Festival June 1976

The same rule will apply to items from unpublished collections. John Stevens tapes. Spontaneous Music Ensemble with Evan Parker live in Highgate : [improvised music]

If the recorded improvisation has no title, supply one in square brackets, and include a suitable descriptive phrase as other title information, in the same set of square brackets. [Improvised music : duo improvisation] / by Marilyn Crispell and Eddie Prevost

Alternatively, construct the title commencing with the phrase Improvised music. [Improvised music. Ra] / by Evan Parker and John Lytton

1.B.7.12. Edited recordings Where a recording has undergone significant editing of content (e.g. aural enhancement, such as equalisation or filtering or digital restoration; and/or where new content is added, such as a new mix with voiceover or new mix with synthesizer added) treat as a separate recording. The golden years in digital stereo : the blues, 1923-1933 / Robert Parker [recording engineer]

Melting pot : reggae dub mix ; Melting pot : club mix

When Johnny comes marching home : [digitally enhanced]

1.B.7.13. Excerpts In the case of excerpts copied from original recordings and prepared for commercial release or broadcast, a separate catalogue record is required. Use a suitable term or phrase to indicate that the excerpt is different in content from the original. As appropriate, this may be made in the title and may be either transcribed from the source of information or supplied. Give any further explanation in a note. Wonnga dance songs. Selected items

[Insecta. Tettigoniidae. Conocephalinae. Copiphorini. Pseudorhynchus. Mimeticus. 3 second excerpt]
Note: Edited using Soundedit Pro.

[Insecta. Tettigoniidae. Conocephalinae. Copiphorini. Pseudorhynchus. Mimeticus. 5 second excerpt]
Note: Edited using Soundedit Pro. Stock shot libraries maintained by broadcasters also contain short or long excerpts of original recordings for ready reference to use in news broadcasts, documentaries and other programmes. These may be of any content, on any topic, by any speaker, performer or subject, and may include broadcast news or on-location reports, speeches or actuality.

Where stock shot material is an excerpt, include indication of this in the title. [Gemini 10 astronauts John Young and Michael Collins most complicated flight yet : Tuesday, 1966-07-19 : excerpt]

1.B.7.14. Incomplete recordings

Where an original recording is incomplete, create a new catalogue record for it and indicate its incompleteness. Friday on my mind : [incomplete : first 40 seconds only] / the Easybeats
Note: Tape runs out before end of song.

After sundown : [fragment] 1.B.8. Titles in two or more languages or scripts
AACR2 1.1B8
If the source of information bears titles in two or more languages or scripts, transcribe as the title proper the one in the language or script of the main written, spoken or sung content of the item. If this criterion is not applicable, choose the title proper by reference to the order of titles on, or the layout of, the source of information. Record the other titles as parallel titles (see 1.D.). Pongo och de 101 dalmatinerna [videorecording]
(The original title is One hundred and one Dalmatians, but since the film is dubbed into Swedish, the Swedish title is chosen as title proper)

1.B.9. Titles with supplementary, section, part or numeric information
See also: 1.C.2.

1.B.9.1. Titles with supplementary or section information
AACR2 1.1B9
If the title proper for an item that is supplementary to, or a section of, another item appears in two or more parts not grammatically linked, record the title of the main work first, followed by the title(s) of the supplementary item(s) or sections in order of their dependence. Precede the number or part information with a full stop and a space. 

Faust. Part one

The German pre-classics. Series A, Georg Philipp Telemann

Dr. Paul. Episodes 1-2

1.B.9.2. Titles with numeric information that is intrinsic to the title Do not confuse numeric information which is intrinsic to the title of the work with part or supplementary information. For instance, a sequel which is a work in its own right, or a unique work written in a standard form, has numeric information which is intrinsic to the title. In such cases, give the numeric information as a part of the title proper.

1.B.9.3. Titles consisting of a section, supplement, part, episode, etc., alone
Developed from NFSA MAVIS Data Entry Guidelines. Series and Serials (9/95)
The title proper can consist of the title of a section, supplement, part, episode, etc., alone under some circumstances. For instance when commercial sound recordings are released as part of a series by the record company, but are marketed as separate items, or where a series of individual parts are self contained (i.e. when there is neither continuity in the story line nor in the cast of characters, and the parts are not intended to be viewed or auditioned consecutively).

Where such an item is part of a series, the series and volume or episode number (if applicable) may be recorded in Area 6 rather than as part of the title proper. Art music from the Far East
Series: (Musical sources)
(Commercially issued sound recording)

L'outil et le geste
Series: (Inventaire des campagnes ; 4)
(Episode from a documentary series where the episodes have individual titles, are self contained, and do not have continuing characters or story line)

See also: 6.0.2 Generally the primary access point for episodes of broadcast series includes both the series title and the episode number and/or date of initial broadcast. In most cases individual parts or episodes may be almost meaningless without the title of the series or serial to which they belong. Give the title of the series followed by a full stop, space and the episode number or date of broadcast and/or episode title. If an episode title is given in addition to the episode number or date of broadcast, give it last and precede it with a space, colon, space. Dancing in the street. Episode 3

(Variety broadcast programme) A broadcast series may sometimes be a series within a series, i.e. a subseries (see 6.H), or a series broadcast within a particular timeslot or season (see 1.B.9.3.2).

For the title proper of an episode of a subseries, give the subseries as a part of the main series. Also give the series and subseries information according to 6.G and 6.H.1. The air adventures of Biggles. Episodes 821-822. Desert broom. Episodes 38-39

1.B.9.3.2. Timeslot or season A timeslot or season is a regular programme time spot which may be used to broadcast material related by theme.

From FIAF Area 3, Introduction

"All corporate names, with the exception of copyright owner, may be recorded in this area regardless of function. Since the ways in which corporate names may relate to moving image materials are complex and highly diverse, archives - particularly those with special interests - should determine the types of functions they wish to include in this area, and these functions may vary from institution to institution. At a minimum, include the functions of production and release/distribution. Functions other than copyright which are not included here may be included in the notes. Distributor names should be included in this area whether they are personal or corporate.

When chosen for inclusion, functions should be listed in the following order: production, cooperation/in association with, sponsor (other than commercial sponsors for television), presenter, studio, laboratory, distribution/release, network or station on which aired. Accompany each name which represents a different function with a place, name and a date." (from The FIAF Cataloguing Rules for Film Archives. Area 3. Introduction)

3.I. Reproductions (which are themselves unpublished)

3.I.1. A reproduction itself may be unpublished, broadcast or published. Apply this rule only when the reproduction itself is unpublished and where a separate catalogue record is made for the reproduction .

An example of this situation may occur when a catalogue record is prepared for a preservation, dubbing master or reference copy created in-house by an archive or collecting institution, and where the purpose of that copy is for internal use only, and not for broadcast, publication or other public distribution. This may occur with in-house compilations, or (according to the institution's practice and policy), if a new catalogue record is created for each one-to-one copy of identical content.

In these cases do not also give the place and name of the archive or collecting institution in this area, as this would mislead users to believe that the item is a published or broadcast item. Instead, give information about place and name of the archive or collecting institution in Area 7.

4: Copyright

4.0. Scope and definitions

4.0.1. Copyright can be defined as the legal right to control the use of the intellectual property in a work and in the authorised forms in which the work exists. The copyright owner has the right to control, or at least to receive appropriate payment for, the reproduction of his works. copyright endures for a limited time which varies between territories. This is not the case with traditional ownership (see 4.0.5) which may not necessarily be limited by a statutory period. copyright may also include moral rights, for instance of authors, composers and performers, to be named and to prevent their works being distributed with another name or to have their work changed in any unauthorised manner. Moral rights presently apply in the legislation of some countries.

4.0.2. Sound and audiovisual recordings usually involve a multiplicity of rights. In the case of published recordings they may include:

  1. performances of published pieces of music which involve specific mechanical rights (mechanical rights are "generally understood as being the author's right to reproduce literary, dramatic or musical works in the form of recordings (phonograms or audiovisual fixations), produced mechanically in the widest sense of the word including electro-acoustic and electronic procedures. The mechanical rights in musical works with or without accompanying words are usually administered by authors' societies or other appropriate organizations. Some copyright laws provide for compulsory licenses to be granted to producers of phonograms of musical works and any words pertaining thereof." WIPO Glossary, p. 157);
  2. the exclusive moral rights of authors in the words and of composers in the titles that have been recorded;
  3. the performances themselves, which involve performer rights;
  4. a recording right which is owned by the record company which released the recordings.Beyond these rights in the recorded item s there are other rights attached to the artwork, accompanying documentation (e.g. sleeve notes) and design which are associated with the packaging of the recording.

4.0.3. broadcast recordings may involve similar rights to published recordings but with the addition of the broadcasting company as a rights owner in the programme as broadcast.

4.0.4. Unpublished recordings, including private recordings made for private purposes which might be donated to an audiovisual archive or library, will normally be covered by official recording or deposit agreements made between the recordist and the person or persons being recorded or between the collecting institution and the donor. Such agreements will typically include statements relating to access, ranging from unrestricted access to prohibition on any form of access whatsoever. Reference to such agreements must therefore be made, not in this area, but in the Notes area (see 7.B.29).

4.0.5. Traditional material (traditional ownership)A related issue which is not always subject to legislation concerns materials from traditional societies. This involves an ethical dimension to the rights (i.e. which may be broader than the legal definition of 'moral rights' mentioned in 4.0.1). This is particularly the case with recordings of certain traditional societies. Ownership of the content of such sound or audiovisual recordings may remain the intellectual property of the person(s) who have been recorded or who have authorised the performance. In such cases archives must strive to document this information sensitively, accurately and responsibly.

4.0.6. Copyright therefore obtains at many levels for sound recordings and in different ways depending on the type of recording. For published videos, for instance, it is the copyright date rather than the date of the p notice which applies. Furthermore, each statement may represent different provisions depending on the territory in which the rights are administered. It will therefore be impossible, with present means available, to express these different layers with any clarity in the approach to descriptive cataloguing adopted by these cataloguing rules unless it is decided to adopt a multilevel or analytic approach (see Chapter 9). If not, it is recommended that archives and cataloguing agencies limit the information stated in Area 4 to one specific copyright layer: for published and broadcast recordings this will be the owner of the recording (as associated with the stated p notice) or broadcast rights; for unpublished recordings this will consist of the name of the recordist together with a statement of any access restrictions imposed by the person or persons recorded. In addition, since enforcement of copyright applies to a period of time after the rights holder's death, it is strongly recommended that dates of birth and death are included when indexing with the names of contributors such as interviewees, performers, authors and composers.

4.0.7. Alternatively, copyright and p notice information relating to a published recording or group of recordings may be adequately documented instead as part of Area 3 (see 3.F.1.5-3.F.1.7).

4.A. Preliminary rule

4.A.1. Punctuation
Based on FIAF 4.1.1
Precede this area by a full stop, space, dash, space or start a new paragraph (. - )

The punctuation should follow the order and format of copyright documentation for countries which have registration systems.

For countries that do not have registration systems, precede the date by a space, semi-colon, space ( ; )

4.A.2. Sources of information
See also: 0.A.1.3, 9.0.B.2,

4.A.2.1. For published sound recordings, take the information from the container packaging and/or the label. For recorded music, copyright ownership statements are normally to be found on the packaging preceded by a p within a circle and a date expressed as a year (normally only the symbol and the date appear on the label). Note that copyright statements preceded by a small c in a circle, ©, which appear on the packaging refer almost invariably to aspects of the packaging itself or to accompanying documentation such as sleeve notes. Do not include such statements here for sound recordings.

4.A.2.2. If there is no p notice or similar sign visible on the published item leave this area blank.

4.A.2.3. For broadcast recordings, take the information from any relevant source.

4.A.2.4. For published videorecordings (where the copyright date rather than the p notice normally applies), take the information from the title frames or from the packaging.

4.A.2.5. For unpublished recordings, take the information from any relevant source, though typically this will be held in documentation accompanying the recording or the collection to which it belongs, for example a deposit agreement form.

4.B. Copyright statement

4.B.1. The first element of the copyright statement is the word copyright followed by a colon and a space.

4.B.2. Give the name of the copyright owner as it appears in the sources of information. Enclose any information about supposed or unspecified rights holders in square brackets. Where available include the date of copyright or p notice. Do not include any indication of country unless it is relevant to copyright registration (see 4.C). Copyright: Black Saint

Copyright: HAT HUT Records Ltd

Copyright: [various British and American radio stations - see individual item s]

Copyright: BBC

Copyright: Richard Margoschis

Copyright: Willow Music ; p 1987

4.B.3. If it is evident that the item is not protected by copyright (e.g. the period for which copyright endured on the item has expired), give:  Copyright: [public domain]

4.B.4. If copyright in the item is unknown, either give no statement at all or give:
 Copyright: [unknown]

4.C. Registration notices

Based on FIAF 4.3. If the cataloguing agency operates in or on behalf of a country which has a national registration or legal deposit system, enter the copyright registration information (including the name of the country) in the same order and format as it appears in national bibliographies or registration listings. If further clarification is required (e.g. of inaccuracies), give such additional information in a note (see 7.B.13).

Copyright: US : CBS Records Inc.; DCRE 1988; DPUB 27Jul88; DREG 26Sept88; SR-96-555

Copyright: US : Jenson Publications Inc.; DCRE 1981; DPUB 2Jan81; DREG 23Feb81; PA-102-784

4.D. Traditional material ownership statement

Use the term copyright to indicate consistently in the catalogue the significance of the statement to follow. Qualify it with a suitable explanatory term for the material such as traditional ownership. Give any extended contextual information in a note (see 7.B.13).

Copyright (traditional ownership): Traditional Owners of the Waake Land Holding Estate

Copyright: Central Land Council

Note: The people who are the traditional owners of these songs hold the right to authorise their performance, and/or access to and/or copying of the recordings. Songs were sung by Traditional Owners of the Waake Land Holding Estate for the Aboriginal Land Commissioner as evidence of land ownership of the Waake Land Holding Estate for the Kaytej/Warlpiri/Warlmanpa Land Claim, heard before the Aboriginal Land Commissioner in 1981.

Recordings were made of this performance by Grace Koch on behalf of the Central Land Council

(In this example the traditional ownership of the content of the recording is by the Traditional Owners of the Waake Land Holding Estate. Additionally there is copyright in the physical recording. Here Grace Koch, employed by the Central Land Council to participate in the land claim case, recorded the performance as part of the evidence during the proceedings. Therefore the Central Land Council owns the recording rights)

5.0. Introduction

Rules

Area 5: Physical description

5.0. Introduction

The rules in this chapter cover the physical description of sound recordings in all media, i.e., discs, tapes, wires, cylinders, sound recordings on film or video formats, and digital audio files. This chapter also briefly includes basic physical description for moving image and electronic resource format s (local access files). For detailed physical description of moving images together with sound the FIAF Cataloguing Rules for Film archives should be used. For detailed physical description of electronic resources the ISBD (ER) should be used.

In the early years of sound recording many different format s and speeds for cylinders and shellac discs existed. Specialised archives should give physical description for these early formats as precisely as is necessary for the archive's or cataloguing agency's requirements, e.g. for cylinders duration, diameter, groove characteristic, speed, or, for sound discs diameter and speed. information relating to superficial design features such as picture disc or sound postcard should be given in a note (see 7.B.14.1).

At the time of writing these rules, technology for digital audio files and mass storage systems is still evolving. Therefore the given formats, technical data, or other physical characteristics of future systems may have been unknown at the time of preparing these rules. It is therefore recommended that the cataloguing agency or archive secure at least a minimum of information and description of the physical characteristics in this area for local access files, to be able to obtain and configure the necessary equipment to play back or reproduce the audiovisual content correctly. Also, where either local or remote access files are described, the system requirements and/or mode of access should be documented as a note (see 7.B.0) for the same reason.

Note that equipment devised to control mechanical instruments (like wooden pin cylinders for flute organs, metal pin discs for musical clocks, punched paper tapes for street organs, rolls for player piano) are not covered by these rules.

6: Series

6.0. Definition and scope

6.0.1. Definition

A series is a group of separate items related to one another by collective features (marks). The items may be intended for use in the sequence they are produced or not, and may be numbered or unnumbered, in production , broadcasting or other forms of publication. Such a group of item s may be a finite series (complete) or an open-ended series (ongoing and therefore incomplete).

6.0.2. Scope

The series statement is used to identify and index items belonging to the same series . It may also be applied to serials incorporating broadcast programs and timeslots (the content of timeslots being related because it is broadcast in the regular timeslot) (see also 1.B.7.2 and 1.B.9.3.1-1.B.9.3.2).

This area is used when all parts of the item are published or broadcast (or are intended to be published or broadcast) in the same series or subseries. In other cases, e.g. where a publisher's series varies from the commonly used series title, the series or subseries statement(s) may be given in a note (see 7.B.19).

When an item belongs to more than one series and/or subseries, the area is repeated. The order of the statements is determined by the order of preference of the sources for the area; in the case of these being of equal value, the order follows the sequence of information found in the chosen source.

Archival series is a different type of series from that defined above. For full guidance on this type of series see the ISAD(G): General International Standard Archival Description, and Rules for Archival Description.

Note, however, that where material in a named or identified collection is catalogued at the level of the individual item , it is the practice for some audiovisual archives and libraries to record the collection title (and series in collection, if applicable) in this area of the cataloguing record (see 6.J).

6.A. Preliminary rule

Precede other title information in a series or subseries by a space, colon, space ( : ).
Precede the first statement of responsibility in a series or subseries by a space, slash, space ( / ).
Precede each subsequent statement of responsibility in a series or subseries by a space, semicolon, space ( ; ) unless the statements are considered to form a single phrase.
Precede the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN ) of the series or a sub series by a comma, space (, ).
Precede the numbering within a series or sub series by a space, semicolon, space ( ; ).
Precede the title of a subseries by a full stop, space (. ).

6.A.2. Sources of information

Expanded from AACR2 1.0A1, 1.0A2, 1.1A2 Take information recorded in this area from:

  • the item itself (including any permanently affixed labels, or title frames);
  • accompanying textual material (e.g. cassette insert, CD slick, inlay or booklet, recording/project accompanying document ation such as correspondence, donor agreements, recordist's worksheets, script, transcript, cue sheet);
  • a container that is an original part of the item (e.g. sound cartridge, videocassette, sleeve, container for video); or from
  • a secondary source such as reference or research works, a publisher's or distributor's brochure, broadcast programme schedule, abstract, index or other available finding aid, container which is not an original part of the item (e.g. a film can used to store a reel of film , tape box for storing audio tape), or the audiovisual content of the item itself.

If the information is taken from a secondary source, cite the source in a note, if appropriate (see 7.B.3). Based on FIAF 0.3.8, 0.4 Enclose information in square brackets within the parentheses enclosing each series statement only when it is not available from any of the above sources of information, and where it is supplied by the archive or cataloguing agency on the basis that the information is known, or is at least probable.

7.B.35. Cataloguer comment
Adapted from FIAF 7.2.27

See also: 02_B4

Although normal standards in cataloguing require impartiality of the cataloguer, some archives have found it useful to provide a space where catalogers may record a more subjective evaluation of the content. For instance, cataloguer comment notes may be of assistance when preparing an exhibition or broadcast programme, or to be used by future scholars or researchers to prepare lectures or produce publications.

Record a subjective comment of the contents commencing with the term Cataloguer comment followed by a colon and a space. A cataloguer comment should be brief but informative. The note must include some form of identification of the cataloguer which will be meaningful at least to the originating archive: the cataloguer's initials will usually suffice.

This is a permissive, not a prescriptive rule: a cataloguer comment should be used internally only, and be excluded from any published or public catalogue.

Cataloguer comment: Performer becomes increasingly intoxicated as the recording progresses (AP)

Cataloguer comment: The commentary accompanying this item could be considered sexist and patronising, and is perhaps indicative of male attitudes towards women during the 1950s (HML)

Area 1: Great white wonder / Bob Dylan

Cataloguer comment: These white labelled discs are believed to be an example of the 1969 bootleg release of this double album (OJ)

8: Numbers and terms of availability

8.0. Introduction

8.0.1. Definition and scope

Number is here either an internationally recognised number, e.g. International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), or any other number that identifies an item uniquely.

Types of numbers recorded in this area, in addition to or instead of, international standard numbers are:

  • catalogue number, allocated for marketing purposes by a record company, and usually, but not necessarily, unique. For documenting and cataloguing purposes, a catalogue number is usually preceded by the record label and a colon. Label and catalogue number information is particularly significant for published sound recordings, and should always be included in a catalogue record for these items.
  • matrix number (or matrix and take number) allocated at the recording session by a record company to identify a side of a disc, and which appears on all disc formats through the production process for that recording. Matrix (and take) numbers are usually, but not necessarily, unique. Matrix (and take) numbers are particularly significant information for 78 rpm discs, and in these cases are especially useful in confirming identification of different performances of the same work by the same artist(s). Similarly a master tape number may be allocated by a record company for identification purposes during the production process. Note that sometimes the number on a master tape may be identical to the catalogue number on the published item.
  • a number used by a broadcaster for identification purposes, such as production, library or series number. Do not confuse these numbers with episode numbers for broadcast series or serials or with catalogue numbers on published sound recordings.
  • European Article Number. The European Article Number (EAN) is a unique number for special articles, not only phonogrammes. It is comparable to the Universal Product Code (UPC) in the USA, and is normally given as a bar code on the record sleeve or any other article's packaging or wrapping.
  • Label Code. The Label Code (LC) was introduced in 1977 by the IFPI (International Federation of Phonogram and Videogram Industries) in order to unmistakably identify the different record labels (see Introduction, Record labels) for rights purposes. The Label Code consists historically of 4 figures, presently being extended to 5 figures, preceded by LC and a dash (e.g. LC-0193 = Electrola; LC-0233 = His Master's Voice). Note that the number of countries using the LC is limited, and that the code given on the item is not always accurate.

8.0.2. Order of information

The number that specifically identifies the item being described is given first (e.g. label and catalogue number). Other numbers (e.g. matrix numbers for more than one side of a disc described in a single catalogue record, catalogue number for additional formats of the same release of a published sound recording) are given next. Where these are different types of numbers, or numbers relating to different formats, give them as a repetition of the same area. 8.0.3. Other numbers This area does not generally apply to institution specific numbers such as shelf location, legal deposit, accession, registration, or consignment numbers. Such numbers form part of the information related to a particular copy of an item, rather than to all copies of the same item, and should be recorded in 10.B.1 and/or 10.B.8.1, if Chapter 10 is adopted. Alternatively, these types of internal numbers may be given in Area 8.

This area does not apply to episode numbers for series or serials. Instead this information is given in Area 6.

Numbers appearing in the item that relate to its bibliographic history (e.g. the label name and issue number of a previous issue of a sound recording) are not given in Area 8. When considered important, they may be given in 7.B.9.

9: Analytic and multilevel

9. General rule

This chapter is developed from key concepts in AACR2 13.5A and 13.6.

9.0.A. Scope and definitions

9.0.A.1. Analytic description permits single entries for individual recordings to be prepared, and subsequently linked to the catalogue entry or entries for one or more host item(s). As the term signifies, this enables the cataloguer to emphasise the identity and specific details about a particular recording which might otherwise be obscured or difficult to accommodate in the entry for the host item(s).

9.0.A.2. The opposite effect is obtained with multilevel description which permits identification of both the part and the comprehensive whole in a single record where the whole is displayed as its primary element. Increasingly more specific levels of information for smaller groups of related recordings, or individual recordings, within the whole are added to a 'first level' record. Depending on the information retrieval requirements and cataloguing policies and resources of the particular archive or cataloguing agency, multilevel description may or may not extend to the level of the individual recording. It results in one single catalogue entry which may be of considerable length. This approach is also reflected in fonds and collection level cataloguing (see Appendix A).

9.0.A.3. Use of Chapter 9 (either approach) is not mandatory. It will be necessary for the archive or cataloguing agency to decide whether to incorporate either approach in the catalogue. If it is decided to apply Chapter 9, it will be necessary for the archive or cataloguing agency to determine which alternatives will apply and under what conditions. Choice of database platform and available resources may well be deciding factors.

Note that if desired, a possible option could be to apply a combination of multilevel description (for the first level of a Collection or fonds , and if necessary the second level for a series in collection or fonds only), with host item and analytic cataloguing applied to individual recordings contained in each separate physical item. The analytic catalogue records would then be linked to their host item entry, and the appropriate collection/fonds statement, or series in collection/fonds statement, may then be recorded as a series statement in the entry for the analytic and/or host item (see 6.J and 9.1.A.6.1).

9.0.B. Sources of information
Expanded from AACR2 1.0A1, 1.0A2, 1.1A2

9.0.B.1. Use of Chapter 9 presupposes, in many instances, a degree of research. Especially for analytic and multilevel cataloguing, the prescribed sources (i.e. features of the whole item or collection) for deriving information about the individual contents may not be accurate, may be incomplete or may not even exist.

9.0.B.2. A suitable basis for the analytic or multilevel description of sound recordings, videos and electronic resources can usually be found in the accompanying documentation and container packaging. This information is usually fuller than that which can be accommodated on the relatively small area of the label or, depending on the medium, other normally designated 'chief' source of information.

However, information printed on labels and on accompanying  documentation or containers is sometimes inaccurate, and for cataloguing at the analytic level may even be non-existent. Where resources permit it is recommended that cataloguers should check information on older published items against extant scholarship, e.g. discographies (see also 0.F).

Moreover, in the case of unpublished and broadcast material, the best written information about content may be not be available from written information on/in the item itself, or its accompanying  documentation or container. Resources such as field notes, contents listings, interview summaries or transcripts, correspondence, broadcast programme schedules (published) or programme documentation (privileged information held by the broadcaster), as well as the audiovisual content of the item, may be required to develop a description. For this reason, the terms chief and prescribed sources of information are not used here.

Take information corresponding with Areas 1 (Title and statement of responsibility), 3 (Publication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc., and date(s) of creation), and 6 (Series) for analytic catalogue records from

  • the item itself (including any permanently affixed labels, or title frames);
  • accompanying textual material (e.g. cassette insert, CD slick, inlay or booklet, recording/project accompanying documentation such as correspondence, donor agreements, recordist's worksheets, script, transcript, cue sheet);
  • a container that is an original part of the item (sound cartridge, videocassette, sleeve, container for video); or from
  • a secondary source such as reference or research works, a publisher's or distributor's brochure, broadcast programme schedule, abstract, index or other available finding aid, container which is not an original part of the item (e.g. a film can used to store a reel of film , tape box for storing audio tape), etc., or the audiovisual content of the item itself.

If the information is taken from a secondary source, cite the source in a note, if appropriate.

Based on FIAF 0.3.8, 0.4
Enclose information in square brackets only when it is not available from any of the above sources of information, and where it is supplied by the archive or cataloguing agency on the basis that the information is known, or is at least probable. Where this information is uncertain, give a question mark after it.

Take information corresponding with Areas 5 (Physical description), 7 (Notes), 8 (Numbers) from any appropriate source, including the audiovisual content of the recording itself.

For information corresponding with Area 4, see 4.A.2.

9.0.C. Preliminary rule

9.0.C.1. Elements of descriptionChapter 9 is a microcosm of Areas 0-8 and reflects the same principles, outline and structure. At each level, the elements of the description are given in the same order and with the same punctuation as for unitary items.

9.0.C.2. PunctuationFollow the punctuation rules which apply to corresponding areas, but note the special punctuation recommended for locational references in analytic entries (see 9.1.A.9) and the instruction for separating the levels in multilevel description (see 9.2.B.2).

9.1. Analytic description

The concept of analytic description arises from the desirability in many cases, when dealing with sound recordings in an archival context, to divide the descriptive information into two separate levels: information pertaining to the physical item itself (sometimes referred to as host item or packaging information) and information pertaining to the sounds contained on the physical item as they were originally captured and regardless of any specific containment, or release (i.e. more or less equivalent to a description of a performance during a recording session)

9.1.A. Rules

9.1.A.0. General rule

9.1.A.0.1. The descriptive part of an analytic entry consists of a description of the part analysed followed by a linking phrase and a short citation of the host item, or items, on which the part occurs.

9.1.A.0.2. Make a description of the part analysed drawn from the following elements that apply to the part:

Title proper, other title information, statement/s of responsibility, date(s) of creation (i.e. recording), copyright information (relating to the realisation ), collection/series statement , notes (structured to include: realisation details, including names with roles and functions relating to the individual recording on the host item, place and date of recording, other recording circumstances, matrix and take numbers, etc. (when appropriate), ISRC or other standard number. Note that label and catalogue number will not normally apply to an analytic entry, but instead to its host item(s) when these are published recordings.

9.1.A.0.3. Follow with a suitable linking statement and a brief citation of the host item (see 9.1.A.9.0-9.1.A.9.2).

9.1.A.0.4. Since the concept of an individual recording (track) is unitary whereas the concept of a physical (host) item may be multiple, there is a danger that duplication may needlessly occur in analytic cataloguing. It is therefore recommended that archives consider making the linking element and citation for the host item repeatable. This would enable each host item and its locational reference to be contained in a single analytic catalogue entry for the particular recording itself (see 9.1.A.9.0).

9.1.A.0.5. Unless otherwise stated, rules in 9.1.A.1-9.1.A.8.5.2 apply to analytic entries only and not also to their host item(s). Description of host item(s) is, in effect, addressed separately in Areas 1-8 and Chapter 10.

9.1.A.1. Title and statement of responsibility

9.1.A.1.1. Follow the rules and examples as given for Area 1. See examples in 9.1.B below.

9.1.A.2. Edition Do not use for analytic entries. edition information relates only to the host item level.

9.1.A.3. Publication, production, distribution, broadcast, etc. and date(s) of creation
See also: 3.B.1.4

9.1.A.3.1. Analytic entries Give the date(s) of creation (i.e. recording) only in Area 3 of an analytic entry.

Do not give publication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc. information in an analytic entry.

Do not give details of place of recording in Area 3 of an analytic entry.

If date and place of recording are both to be given in an analytic entry, they may be given together in a note, and Area 3 omitted.

9.1.A.3.2. Host item entriesPublication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc. information is given in Area 3 of the description for the host item only, where the host item has been published, produced, distributed, broadcast, etc.

For unpublished host items, give the date(s) of creation (i.e. recording) only in Area 3.

9.1.A.3.3. Optionally, give the original publication, production , distribution or broadcast, etc., details in the notes area of the analytic record. This may be useful particularly in cases where the host item for the original release is not also listed in the catalogue of the archive or cataloguing agency, or where the specific content of the recording is stored in a mass storage system.

(Area 3 in related host item)

9.1.A.3.4. Optionally, details relating to the subsequent publication, production , distribution, broadcast, etc., may be documented in a note in the analytic record.

9.1.A.4. copyright information

9.1.A.4.0. Particularly for published sound recordings, and also where an archive makes in-house copies of unpublished and broadcast recordings for preservation or reference purposes, different categories of legal rights are usually attached to the analytic and host item respectively:

Analytic entries
Performer rights, and in cases where a published work is performed mechanical rights, which are held by the publisher of the printed music or text, are attached to the individual recordings (i.e. tracks which are contained on the physical item), and therefore given in analytic entries.

Host item entries
Recording rights belong to the record company , studio or institution which made the physical copy of the recording. These are attached to the physical (or host) item in the form of a specific publication or copy (i.e. the physical item which is shelved in the archive's or library's collection).

It is therefore useful, for the sake of clarity in the description, to keep these two categories of copyright information separate. Recording rights would normally be included in the publication or copyright area of the host item, while performer and mechanical rights would normally be included in the copyright area for the analytic record. 9.1.A.4.1. Include any copyright information which pertains to the recording itself or the work which has been recorded. Qualify the statement in parentheses if required.

Copyright (song title): Stainer & Bell, London

Copyright: BBC

Copyright: R. Margoschis (recordist)

Copyright: Bibliothèque nationale de France

9.1.A.4.2. Note also that copying or reuse of an individual recording is subject to the recording rights associated with the particular host item used. This is borne out, for example, in the recent commercial availability of some published compilation reissues of recordings which were originally published as 78 rpm discs, and for which the recording rights attached to those 78 rpm discs have, through age, expired. Reuse of the contents of these newly published compilations is then subject to their own new recording rights. Hence the recording rights applicable to each host item should be included in the catalogue record for that host item.

9.1.A.4.3. Note further that if the analytic entry is for a previously published or broadcast recording which is subsequently transferred to an archive's preservation copy or stored as an audio file in an archive's jukebox or mass storage system, the details of the recording rights for the host item and/or of the p notice from which that specific recording was made should be included in the analytic catalogue record. This is for reference purposes and to assist future requests for permission to reuse the recording (see also 9.1.A.8.5.2).

Copyright (source of audio content): WEA ; p 1979
Note: copyright details are for the original item from which this preservation copy was made

9.1.A.4.4. Do not otherwise include in an analytic entry any copyright information which pertains to the manufacture or production of any physical item which may contain the recording in hand. Instead, give this information in Area 3 or Area 4 of the applicable host item(s).

9.1.A.5. Physical description

9.1.A.5.1. Normally physical description is concerned with the physical characteristics of the host item. Therefore the usual application of physical description will not apply to an individual recording which may occur on several host items. information pertaining to physical description for analytic entries for audiovisual recordings should be restricted to the audiovisual content only, regardless of the physical characteristics of the host item. Such information would include, for example, duration, whether silent (si.) or with sound (sd.) and the presence of colour (col.) or black and white (b&w) (films, videos and electronic resources). With the absence of other physical description data it is recommended that, when appropriate, this information commence with a suitable explanatory term.

Duration: 3 min., 28 sec.

14 min., 35 sec. : sd., col.

9.1.A.5.2. Alternatively, this information may be given instead as a note on physical description (see 7.B.14), or duration may be given at the end of a summary if appropriate (see optional rule in 7.B.24).

9.1.A.6. Series/collection statement

9.1.A.6.1. See also: 9.0.A.3 Series statements may be included in analytic catalogue records for unpublished items which have been created, compiled or otherwise collated as a collection.

(Bolger collection)

(George Dreyfus collection. Interviews series )

9.1.A.6.2. Additionally series statements for published or broadcast items may be entered here if necessary (e.g. in the case of analytic records for a compilation of selected episodes of radio serials).

(Night beat ; episode 1)

9.1.A.7. Notes

9.1.A.7.0. Enter in this area any elements concerned with the event as recorded. It is recommended that a strict ordering of notes is adhered to, to aid comprehension, and that this ordering follow that given in Area 7. The following highlights those notes generally considered most applicable in analytic entries for sound recordings. These focus on key information related to describing a recording session. Note, however, that any additional notes, as given in Area 7 may also be included in an analytic, if appropriate to the content being catalogued.

Notes generally considered most applicable in analytic entries for sound recordings are:

9.1.A.7.1. Statements of responsibilityGive names of persons or bodies responsible for the recorded content (e.g. composers or arrangers, performers and other contributors), together with their respective functions and roles, which are considered important, and which are not named in the statement of responsibility (see 9.1.A.1, 1.F and 7.B.7).

Arranger: Bengt Hallberg

Performers: Placido Domingo and John Denver

Recordist: Cathy Bromley

9.1.A.7.2. Material of recordingAs appropriate, provide information about the recording process itself, the original recording, or characteristics of the recording equipment including the type of tape recorder, microphones and sound tape designation. Normally this applies to unpublished material, but occasionally also to published material.

Recorded using Beyer dynamic mics into Nagra IV recorder and onto Zonal 575 tape

9.1.A.7.3. Place, date and circumstance of recordingGive available details of the place and date of recording that are not given in 9.1.A.3. Include appropriate contextual information about the recording event, or circumstance according to 7.B.11. Optionally, include the name of the recordist here.

Recorded: 1956-11-15

Recorded: Ely Cathedral

Recorded: New York City, 1931-06-11

Recorded: Interviewee's home (Liverpool)

Recorded at the Edinburgh International Festival

Latitude 41 [degrees] 30'N; Longitude 120 [degrees] 30'E; Altitude c 600m

9.1.A.8. Numbers

9.1.A.8.0. There are several standardised numbers which can be included in analytic entries. All numbers which are included will require a suitable annotation to identify them.

9.1.A.8.1. Various international standard numbering systems, e.g. ISRC , ISAN and ISWC , have been or are being developed at the time of writing these rules. In the future these will help to precisely identify individual tracks and the works that are performed on published recordings. If obtainable, enter such numbers here.

9.1.A.8.2. For unpublished recordings, include any original numbering allocated to the recording by, for instance, the recordist or collector.

Collector's original number: 58

Alternatively, where the recording is part of a named collection, give the recordist's or collector's number as a volume number in the series statement (see 9.1.A.6.1.) within the analytic entry

(Frederick Smith collection; 58)

Alternatively, if the recordist's or collector's number relates only to the host item, give it in the entry for the host item instead (see 6.J).

9.1.A.8.3. For broadcasts, include any numbering associated with the original programme or recorded item as created for identification purposes by the originating organisation (see second optional rule in 8.B.1).

Alternatively, where the recording is (part of) a broadcast series or serial , give the broadcaster's number as a volume number in the series statement (see 9.1.A.6.2) within the analytic entry.

Alternatively, if the broadcaster's number relates to the host item, give it in the entry for the host item (see second optional rule in 8.B.1).

9.1.A.8.4. Matrix and take numbers

9.1.A.8.4.1. Of significance only to the coarse groove era, enter the matrix and take number associated with the recording (see 8.B.1).

9.1.A.8.4.2. Include qualifying statements such as alternate, previously unissued, as appropriate.

9.1.A.8.5. Label and catalogue number

9.1.A.8.5.1. Generally, label and catalogue number information are normally given in the catalogue record for the host item only for published recordings.

Columbia: A3936

9.1.A.8.5.2.

When, however, a recording which was published, is copied to an archive's preservation, dubbing or reference tape, or stored in its jukebox or mass storage system, it may be appropriate to include in the analytic entry for the recording, the details of the label and catalogue number for the host item from which the recording was copied. This is to assist with correct discographical identification in the future, and would be especially helpful in cases where there is no description for the original host item in the catalogue (see also 9.1.A.4.4.).

Precede such label and catalogue number information with a suitable phrase

This recording from: Regal: G22493

9.1.A.9. Locational reference to whole or host item
See also: 9.0.C.2

9.1.A.9.0. The locational reference to the host item comprises: the term In: followed by a brief citation of the host item, and concludes with details of the location on the host item. The recording may be present on one or more sound physical items. Accordingly, it is recommended that the locational reference be repeatable for each host item. Start a new line for each new locational reference statement.

9.1.A.9.1. Commence with the term In: or its equivalent in another language and/or script.

Follow with the citation for the host item. This should include:

the name and/or title of the host item; statement(s) of responsibility, if appropriate; and edition/release statement, when necessary for identification. Note that where host item(s) are published sound recordings, their full label name and catalogue number are to be included in the citation. For broadcast items include sufficient details about the broadcaster, and date of broadcast or other specific identifying information, such as tape number or episode number of a serial , in the citation for the host item.

In: Bessie Smith : the world's greatest blues singer. - CBS: CG33. - Side 2 band 6

In: 4BH collection. archives series . - Tape S41. - Cut 1

9.1.A.9.2. Give the locational reference to the recorded item according to its physical position on the host item(s) in the collection, or to its address in a jukebox or mass storage system. Include a duration statement in minutes and seconds if important, and if the duration is not already given elsewhere. The terminology used will depend on the type of physical item in hand, the way in which its playing surface has been divided up and the language of the cataloguing agency involved. These are the recommended terms for use in English-speaking agencies:

[i.e. drive is a, path is Shetlands, filename is Eiderd.wav]

9.1.A.9.3. Optionally, include the in-house collection management control number or shelf-mark for ease of reference and retrieval.

It is important to note that the appearance of the brief citation for the host item in the analytic entry does not preclude preparation of a separate catalogue record for the description and retrieval of the host item in the collection.

9.2. Multilevel description

See also: 6.J

9.2.A. As with analytic description, multilevel description permits detailed description of the contents of a physical item or of a collection. The opposite effect, to analytic description, however, is obtained with multilevel description which adds layers of information to a first level record representing a container or, more usually, a collection of containers.

Multilevel description is normally applied by archives and cataloguing agencies which prepare entries needing complete identification of both part and comprehensive whole in a single record, where the description of the whole is displayed as its primary element. Additionally it has traditionally been used in those archives and cataloguing agencies which apply the technique of fonds and collection level cataloguing (see Appendix A).

This first level record is a broad collective description for all the contents of a container, or more usually a collection of physical items.

Second and subsequent levels will provide description of parts of the whole. Depending on the volume of material comprising the whole, the second level may relate to a group of physical items (which for example may form a series in an archival collection or fonds) or it may relate to one physical item (which for example may be an individual disc published as part of a set of discs, or may be an individual item or recording in a collection or fonds).

The whole multilevel description is contained in a single cataloguing record. Thus the description of the content is effectively hierarchically embedded in the multilevel description , so reflecting the natural position (or 'order of provenance ') of the individual (or group of) recording(s) as created in the collection, or presented in a published compilation set of discs, etc.

For this reason, multilevel catalogue records may extend to considerable length involving many pages, or many screens on a computer display.

Depending on the information retrieval requirements and/or cataloguing policies and resources of the particular archive of cataloguing agency, multilevel description may or may not extend to the level of the individual recording.

Also depending on the archive's or cataloguing agency's information retrieval and display requirements multilevel descriptions may either:

a) imply that information document ed in higher levels of the multilevel description hierarchy naturally relates or 'flows down' to the lower levels (and therefore need not be repeated in the lower levels), or

b) be designed to include important information at the more detailed levels, even if some information is repeated.

9.2.B.1. Divide the descriptive information into two or more levels. The first level will consist only of information relating to the broadest context which is common to all contents. This may be a single carrier or a collection of carriers. The second level will consist of information relating to a group of recordings or a single recording contained on that carrier or within that collection. If the second level describes a group of recordings, use a third level to describe any individual recordings from that group

9.2.B.2. See also: 9.0.C.2 Follow the punctuation rules which apply to corresponding area.

Distinguish each level clearly with an appropriate heading.

First level

Distinguish each discrete entry with an appropriate numeric or alphanumeric as appropriate to the material being catalogued.

10: Item/copy information

10.0 Scope and definitions

10.0.1. Chapter 10 is optional.

10.0.2. Use of Chapter 10 implies that the archive includes information on its collection management activities in a single catalogue. This information may be regarded as restricted and therefore maintained and/or displayed separately from other information in the catalogue. Nevertheless it is essential, if included, that this information is referenced to the description, prepared according to Areas 1-8, for the original item or first copy held, and also linked to information about other related copies in the archive so that accurate inventories and 'audit trails' can be produced.

10.0.3. Chapter 10 provides guidelines for describing in detail the physical make-up and derivation of additional copies, be they copies of items from the archive's own holdings (which will have been made typically for conservation purposes) or from elsewhere, e.g. items loaned by an external collector for copying. This mostly concerns unpublished and broadcast recordings but may apply to published items, in particular those which appear on vulnerable formats. In an ideal world each copy corresponds to a single original item (i.e. one tape reel copied to another tape reel), but the short duration of most early items makes such a policy uneconomic and it is therefore more typical for compilation copies to be created, i.e. several items on 78 rpm discs copied to a single reel of tape. Where this occurs, the newly compiled item will require its own new catalogue record with supplied title (see 1.G.6), and a description corresponding to the rules in areas 3-8. However, detailed information relating to this newly created item, and any subsequent copies of it, may be handled through Chapter 10.

10.0.4. Chapter 10 may also be used to record detailed descriptions of published items acquired as different or duplicate formats, e.g. where an item is published simultaneously as a CD and as an audiocassette and both are held by the archive, or where more than one copy of each format is acquired.

10.0.5. The most substantial part of an entry using Chapter 10 will consist of notes (10.B.7) which reflect observations made by the conservation or curatorial staff. These should be entered in a format similar to the scientific method: observations about the original, and, when it is to be copied: observations about the copying process itself (e.g. the equipment used in the copying, the parameters governing the migration of digital data from one file to another) and observations about the resulting copy. Such observations should be sufficiently detailed and precise to enable a future conservator to reverse engineer the copy if need be.

10.0.6.The other vital information to be included here concerns source of acquisition: where the item being copied came from; who owned it; is the item itself a copy and if so, how and when was it copied, etc. (see 10.B.2, 10.B.7.6).

10.A. Preliminary rule

10.A.1. PunctuationThere is no equivalent in ISBD for Chapter 10. Therefore Chapter 10 does not correspond to ISBD punctuation. In any case, most of the information in Chapter 10 will appear in note form.

Precede each note by a full stop, space, dash, space (. - ) or start a new paragraph for each. Separate introductory wording from the main content of a note by a colon followed, but not preceded by, a space (: ).

The only exception to this general rule is where a second or subsequent item has a different physical format from the first (original) item described in the catalogue record, e.g. the first item is an LP, the second a cassette. In these cases follow the punctuation from Area 5 when giving their physical description in Chapter 10.

10.A.2. Sources of information

10.A.2.1. Take information recorded according to this chapter from any appropriate source, e.g. the item itself, including any labels, etc. that are permanently affixed; the audiovisual content of the item; a container which is an original part of the item; accompanying textual material; a secondary source; the conservator's or curator's own observations or those of a predecessor, or correspondence with the source of acquisition.

10.B. Rules

10.B.0. General rule

10.B.0.1. Generally more than one copy of an item will be maintained in an audiovisual archive. For this reason, Chapter 10 is intended to be repeated for as many duplicates or copies of the item that are held. Start a new paragraph, or a separate entry for each separate item and/or copy.

Commence with sufficient identification of the item within the collection. This will comprise a brief bibliographic citation for the item and/or copy, followed with an indication as to which item and/or copy it is. The remainder of the item /copy information includes information pertinent to the particular item, such as that outlined in 10.0.3-10.0.6 above.

10.B.1. Identification of the copy and/or item Give a brief citation drawn from the bibliographic description of the original item or first copy held. This should include the name and/or title of the original item or first copy held; statement(s) of responsibility, if appropriate; and edition/release statement, when necessary for identification. Where the original item or first copy held is a published sound recording, its full label name and catalogue number are to be included in the citation. For broadcast items include sufficient details about the broadcaster, and date of broadcast or other specific identifying information, such as tape number or episode number of a serial, in the citation for the original item or first copy held.

Follow with an indication that it is the first, second or third copy held, and/or an indication of the status of the item in the collection (Preservation, Duping, Access, etc.) and/or the accession or shelf number, according to the archive's collection management system and procedures.

1LP 00107034

Bessie Smith : the world's greatest blues singer. - CBS: CG33
Item 1: Preservation. - PLM000075 Item 2: Access. - ALM000034

10.B.2. Copy source

10.B.2.1. In the case of describing a copy, which has been made by the archive, and is derived from a source copy which is owned by the archive, it may only be necessary to refer to it by means of local shelf or accession number. The record corresponding to the source copy should already contain sufficient information about its own origins. Optionally, include a brief physical description of the original or provide a brief citation.

Bessie Smith : the world's greatest blues singer. - CBS: CG33
Tape NNNN
Copied from: 1LP 00107034: NSA-owned disc 30 cm 33 rpm

Alternatively, if appropriate to the archive's Collection management system and procedures, give full details of the status of the item in the collection.

Copied from: Item 1: Preservation. - PEL000153-PEL000154. - 2 sound tape reels (22 min., 12 sec.) : 76 cm/sec, 2 track, mono ; 25 cm

10.B.2.2.
See also: 7.B.32 If the copy is derived from a source copy not owned by the archive, i.e. it has been loaned with permission for the archive to make its own copy before returning the original to its owner, enter details of the item as loaned and the name of the donor. Include the date of the loan, any record label/number information, title(s), if any, and a brief physical description.

Tape T49963 (formerly SLN 51 411D 752) "Christmas at King's", loaned 5th January 1991 for copying by the BBC Sound Archives

10.B.2.3. If the copy or original item is acquired from an external source, give the details of the source, together with date of acquisition and method of acquisition in a note (see 10.B.7).

10.B.3. Date of copying and name of person(s) who made the copy

10.B.3.1. When the copy is made in-house, or has been commissioned externally for the archive, e.g. from a recording studio, precede a statement of the date on which the copy was made with a suitable term such as Dubbed or Copied, or its equivalent in another language and/or script.

10.B.3.2. Give the date of copying, if the copy is made in-house, or has been commissioned externally by the institution, e.g. from a recording studio.

Copied: 17 April 1998

10.B.3.3.Give the name of the person(s) who made the copy.

Copied by: Lloyd Stickells

10.B.4. Copyright and restrictions on the copy

10.B.4.1. CopyrightWhere the copy is made in-house, and the source of the copy is a published or a broadcast item, then whatever rights pertain to the source material hold true for the copy which will be understood as a necessary security or safeguarding measure rather than as an attempt to produce an unauthorised version for further distribution. Such information can therefore be left to reside with the bibliographic entry corresponding to the source material for the copy being made.

10.B.4.2. RestrictionsIf the source material for the copy is unpublished, then rights will depend on the terms on which the archive acquired the source copy. Such information can therefore be left to reside with the bibliographic entry corresponding to the source material for the copy being made.

Give here either Restricted or Unrestricted or their equivalent in another language and/or script. If the former, and where it may not be appropriate to display the full specific details of the restriction publically in the restrictions note of the bibliographic record (see 7.B.29), then include any relevant terms here.

10.B.7.2. Include a general note including observations made by the conservator at the time the copy was made (see 7.B.14-7.B.17, 7.B.28).

The lender, who is also the performer in this recording, included a note to the effect that the pitch-corrected version (-3%) was to be used. This version had been prepared by EMI engineers. On listening to this version I found the opening bars badly broken up by drop-outs. The solution was to take the original recording and pitch correct that to achieve the desired effect

10.B.7.3. Describe the equipment and mechanical processes (e.g. added equalisation or noise reduction) used to make the copy and include any results and conclusions (see 7.B.17).

The audio signal was played into the DAR SoundStation where the original piece was copied to enable the pitch correction (-3%) to be applied along with the original version. The resulting VHS copy has, therefore, both versions which are digital transfers from SoundStation. The duration of the pitch-corrected version is 0:12:21

Appendix A. Fonds and collection level cataloguing

Contents:

A.1. Introduction
A.2. Fonds level cataloguing
A.3. Collection level cataloguing

A.1. Introduction

A.1.1.

This appendix briefly considers the concept of fonds level and collection level cataloguing.

A.1.2.

It is included for information, with the recommendation that existing standards such as ISAD(G): General International Standard Archival Description. Ottawa: ICA, 1994; Rules for Archival Description. Ottawa: Bureau of Canadian Archivists, 1990 and Steven L. Hensen (comp.), Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts: A Cataloging Manual for Archival Repositories, Historical Societies and Manuscript Libraries. Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 1983, be used to assist the preparation of cataloguing records for fonds and collections, and their series and files.

A.1.3.

By outlining these concepts here, it is not intended to encourage fonds and/or collection level cataloguing as the only approach for managing and providing access to sound and audiovisual collections.

A.1.4.

Clearly, many sound and audiovisual archives and libraries must describe, manage and give access to individual documents and even to parts of these documents (e.g. tracks on recorded sound compilations) with considerable efficiency and precision. In such cases a fonds level or collection level catalogue record alone would not be sufficient to serve the information needs of these organisations or their users. Indeed, this level of description may not be necessary in some audiovisual archives and libraries (e.g. organisations maintaining their own archive only and/or which have high or intensive use of items in their collection, such as gramophone record libraries, or programme archives and stock shot collections in broadcasting organisations).

A.1.5.

Conversely, other audiovisual archives and libraries may be legally or administratively required to apply fonds and collection level description for the material they hold. Yet other organisations may find this approach helpful for some (if not all) parts of their holdings.

Top

A.2. Fonds level cataloguing

A.2.1.

Traditionally, organisations dealing with government records, corporate records or personal collections first describe and control these documents at the fonds level. Documents may then be systematically maintained as (archival) series within the fonds or collection, as necessary and appropriate. The archival series may also be sub-arranged into files of documents.

Cataloguing entries prepared at these levels provide basic description, control of and access to these fonds, collections, series and files.

A.2.2.

Time permitting, an inventory of the individual documents and/or their contents may be prepared so providing increased access to the material.

A.2.3.

This approach assists a) documenting provenance and b) maintaining order of provenance.

A.2.4.

Also, it assists organisations with the management and control of what are often very large volumes of material.

A.2.5.

In addition this approach allows for the content of the fonds and collections to be broadly described within the historical, cultural and social context surrounding their creation.

  • A.3. Collection level cataloguing

    A.3.1.

    Where organisations hold large collections of similar material, they may initially employ collection level cataloguing to broadly describe and control these materials and to provide basic access to them. Series, files and inventories of the material in these collections may be subsequently prepared. Two examples of collection level catalogue records follow. Calwell, Arthur A. (Augustus), 1896-1973

    Calwell collection : [sound recordings]

    1943-1951

    Full range of Melba's repertoire, opera, songs and ballads, including the 1926 Covent Garden farewell performance, collected by William Hogarth

    Melba studied with Pietro Cecchi in Melbourne, and later with Mme. Marchesi in Paris. She made her operatic debut in Brussels in 1887 and subsequently won international acclaim, touring extensively in Europe, the United States and Australia. Her last performance at Covent Garden was in 1926, and her last Australian appearance was at Geelong, Vic. in 1928

36. Ethnographic collection - multipart item
Note: The example commencing on the following page is for a multilevel entry and extends over several pages.

Here the unity of the collection is the project of the Recherche Unit (RCP) on the geographical area of the Aubrac during the year 1964. A total of 808 sound recorded items (on 87 tape reels) comprise the collection. Accompanying materials are also included.

The description of the collection as a whole forms the first level of the description.

This project was carried out during 3 expeditions. Each expedition comprises a group of recordings. The descriptions of the three groups of recordings from each expedition constitute the second level of description.

At the third level of the description the individual recorded items from an expedition are described.

RCP (Recherche Coopérative sur Programme) is a Research Unit which was set and sponsored by CNRS (Centre national de la Recherche Scientifique), France.

Inventory numbers. The numeric data in the inventory numbers which appear at the third level of description are made up of the following elements:
the year of recording (i.e. 64); the registration number for the year (i.e. 36) and the item number for the recorded item within the collection (i.e. 754). E.g.:64.36.10
64.36.754

BM (Bande magnétique=magnetic tape) numbers. Number to identify the particular original tape in the collection. In Level 3 this number appears above the entry for the first item on the tape. All in-house copies of the original tape contain the same content as the original from which they are copied. This number therefore provides a mnemonic to assist identification of all copies of the same original tape.

Appendix C. Terms for describing the physical condition of sound recordings

Contents:

C.1. Introduction
C.2.Terms to describe common conditions
C.2.1. Discs and cylinders
C.2.2. Tapes
C.2.3. Wire recordings
C.3 Extent of condition

 

C.1. IntroductionThe following is a brief list of English language terms and definitions relating to common condition problems of recorded sound discs and magnetic tapes. It is offered to assist with describing the condition of sound recordings in Area 7 (see 7.B.15).

Top

C.2. Terms to describe common conditions

C.2.1. Discs and cylinders

Note that some of the terms in this section, especially where shellac discs are indicated, are also applicable to cylinder recordings.

Bleeding. Inks or dyes on the label of the disc are running.

Blister. Often caused by entrapped steam or air inclusion at the time the pressing was made. Causes clicks or other transient noise during playback.

Broken. The disc has broken into distinct parts (generally applies to shellac or glass-based lacquer discs, or to cylinders).

Centre damage or fault. The centre hole is chipped or otherwise unfit for centering the disc.

Chemical residue. Residue from a cleaning fluid or other chemical is on the surface of the disc.

Chinagraph mark. The grooved surface of the disc has chinagraph crayon markings.

Chip. A small piece is missing, usually from the edge of a shellac disc or cylinder.

Corrosion. The metal substrate of a lacquer disc or of a metal part (e.g. stamper, mother) displays rust or some other form of corrosion.

Cracked or Cracking. A break without physical separation (generally applies to shellac discs and cylinders only)

Crazing. Thin fracture lines occurring on the surface of a lacquer disc caused by shrinkage of the lacquer with respect to the substrate.

Darkening. Colour change in disc. May be caused by ageing or by temperature problems at the time the disc was pressed.

Dust or Dirt (Dirty/Oily). Dust, dirt or oiliness on the surface of the disc, usually resulting from poor storage conditions and handling.

Foreign matter. Usually describes material (cardboard, etc.) which has become adhered to or embedded in the surface of vinyl or shellac discs or cylinders following manufacture (as opposed to inclusion).

Gouge. Large, deep scratches. This was sometimes done deliberately for contractual and copyright reasons to prevent further replay.

Inclusions. Foreign matter (e.g. small fibre, or grain of sand or mineral) included in the material from which the disc or cylinder is made. If at the surface of the carrier, it may be visible to the eye, and may also fall out and leave a cavity. If below the surface, it may manifest as a lump or blister. May or may not affect playback.

Label damage. The label is worn away, eaten by insects, or similarly affected.

Loose pieces (Flaking). Pieces of lacquer have partially come away from the substrate of a lacquer disc.

Marks (Marked). Marks such as fingerprints and scuffs occurring on the grooved surface.

Missing pieces. Denotes shellac or lacquer discs with missing pieces, which, as a result cannot be consolidated.

Misstracking (Repeating or skipping grooves). The stylus or needle repeats or skips a groove unless a sideways force is applied at the right time during playback. Usually caused by a breakdown in groove wall, or a gouge.

Mould (Mouldy). Usually takes the form of white or grey patches on the surface, with a characteristic structure visible under low power magnification. Exacerbated by high humidity or by contact with organic material.

Needle dig. A very localised gouge due to a dropped soundbox with needle.

Needle run. Curved scratch due to inappropriate handling of the soundbox causing multiple ticks over the whole playing surface.

Orange peel effect. A grainy or textured surface caused by the pressing being too hot when made, or heat applied to it afterwards. Can result in an increase in background noise.

Out-of-round. The circular section in a cylinder is eccentric, elliptic, or not round in some other way. It may give a 'wow' effect to the sound during playback.

Peeling. Failure of the bonding between the substrate and the lacquer layer. Results in large sections of the surface, or sometimes the entire face, peeling away from the substrate of the lacquer disc.

Scratches (Scratched). Grooves scored with narrow lines. The result of poor handling.

Stitching. A pattern resembling a series of small dashes or stitches running along the grooves of a disc caused by wear from a stylus with insufficient compliance or excess tracking weight on more heavily modulated, low-frequency sections.

Warp. Alteration in disc surface shape (usually along several planes), causing the stylus to jump when the disc is played. Due to heat and/or uneven physical pressure on the disc.

Waxy exudate. A waxy substance exuding from the surface of the disc. May be caused by a reaction between plasticisers in lacquer discs, and the packaging. Some shellac discs had excess or unstable wax in the binder which leaves a 'bloom' on the disc's surface. Often exacerbated by storage conditions.

Wear (Worn). Worn groove walls, caused by stress of overuse, or replay with worn or inappropriate stylus. Often not easily seen with the naked eye, but appears as an overall dullness or grey grooves. It is more likely to occur during loud passages, and results in increased surface noise and decreased high frequency response. In some sound and audiovisual archives this is scaled from 1 (brand new, perfect copy) to 6 (looks dreadful but still playable) (see also C.3).

Top

C.2.2. Tapes

Backcoat shedding. Backcoat particles coming away from the substrate and accumulating on surfaces in contact with the back of the tape. Apart from the loss of functionality of the backcoat itself, loose debris can deposit on the playing surface of the adjacent layer of the tape, impairing playback quality (as opposed to magnetic coating shedding or magnetic coating lift).

Bleeding. Inks or dyes on the surface or writing on the backcoat, seeping through the tape layer.

Blocking. Whole blocks of adjacent layers of tape have shifted sideways relative to the rest of the tape pack. Usually the result of horizontal storage, transport or rough handling. Blocking can result in damage to the edges of the tape and localised stress where lateral movement has occurred.

Brittleness. Tape breaks easily. Cupping and curvature may also be present.

Cinching. The rippling of tape layers when bunched up from pack slippage or uneven tension. Cinching can permanently deform the substrate, resulting in rapid, cyclical fluctuations of sound level, as the creased tape passes across the playback heads.

Cupping. Curvature across the tape's surface, rather than along its length. Due to the substrate and recording layers having different rates of shrinkage.

Curvature. Tape has a tendency to stay rolled up. Modern PET based tapes have more of a tendency to 'remember' the shape in which they are packed and to flow or deform plastically in response to pressures and stresses within the pack.

Damaged reel (or cassette or cartridge casing). The hub, flange or spool of a tape reel or the casing of a cassette or casing is damaged. This may cause damage to the tape if it touches the reel or casing during playback, re-wind, fast forward, or even when in storage (where clamp indents or clip impressions may occur). Note that the flange or casing should never touch the tape.

Dust or Dirt (Dirty/Oily). Dust, dirt or oiliness on the surface of the tape, usually resulting from poor storage conditions and handling.

Edge damage. Edge of tape is not straight or not flat. This can cause dropouts, reduced output level, or a random shift in the stereo image of the recording.

Embossing. Physical damage to a tape caused by foreign matter that has become embedded within the tape pack, or by deformities in the hub.

Gummy deposit. Glue-like substance on the tape. It accumulates on the heads and guides of the playback machine when the tape is played.

Hydrolysis. Breakdown of the binders in the tape due to its reaction with moisture. Any shedding, sticking, squealing or residue may be a sign of hydrolysis.

Interlayer adhesion. The surface of one layer of tape is sticking to the back of the succeeding layer.

Kink. A crease on a layer of tape.

Leafing. Single layers of tape are protruding from the tape pack. Usually this is the result of spooling too quickly for the tension/alignment of the transport, and for the characteristics of the tape, causing momentary entrapment of air between layers. Leafing may occur individually or in groups, and exposes tape edges to potential damage.

Loose wind. Individual layers of tape are loosely wound on the tape pack. This is due to lack of fastening of the end of the tape. It may cause slippage of the tape pack on playing, and lead to cinching.

Magnetic coating lift. Coating layer separates from the substrate in sheets, indicating a failure of adhesion to the substrate (as opposed to backcoat shedding).

Magnetic coating shedding. Magnetic coating particles coming away from the tape substrate and depositing on heads and guides of playback machine. Due to a loss of cohesion (as opposed to backcoat shedding).

Magnetic losses. The tape has been partially or fully demagnetised or suffered from a loss of signal due to deterioration of the magnetic coating. (E.g. a section of the tape has been accidentally exposed to a bulk eraser, or magnetic particles may have physically deteriorated, resulting in a weaker signal).

Manufacturing surface defect. Includes partial lack of coating, foreign inclusions, variations in width, edge finish or thickness, etc.

Mould (Mouldy). Usually takes the form of white or grey patches on the surface, with a characteristic structure visible under low-power magnification. Exacerbated by high humidity or contact with organic material.

Scouring. Fine scratches on the surface of a tape usually caused by stationary guides or rough tape heads.

Splice. Small piece of special adhesive tape used to join two pieces of recorded material to form a single piece.

Splice, dry (Dry splice). Adhesive on splice is dry, or the splice is brittle. It results in drop-out of sound at the splice and on the adjacent tape layers where the adhesive has left a deposit. A dry splice may come away during playback.

Splice, sticky (Sticky splice). Adhesive from the splice sticks adjacent layers of tape together and can cause information drop-outs where the adhesive has left a deposit.

Spoking. Radial lines or spokes appearing in a tape pack, caused by adjacent layers of tape suffering similar deformation(s).

Squealing. High pitched noise caused by bowing action of tape on heads. May result from hydrolysis and/or loss of lubricants. May be accompanied by stiction.

Stiction. Tape sticks to heads and guides on the playback machine, and will not spool or play.

Stretch. Tape is deformed by stretching, and is usually elongated, narrowed and cupped.

Vinegar syndrome. Technically, de-acetylation of cellulose acetate substrates which may produce acetic acid as a by-product, and gives rise to the characteristic vinegar odour. May be accompanied by brown or white crystals on the tape pack.

Windowing (Windows). Deformation of the layers of tape within the tape pack to the extent where light can be seen through it.

Wrinkle. Multiple creases in the tape.

Top

C.2.3. Wire recordings

Corrosion. Occurring usually as rust with some wire recordings.

Wire knots. When wire recordings break away, the broken ends may be tied together. This tie forms a knot.

Wire tangles. Tangled recording wire. The thickness of fuse wire, recording wire tangles easily when it is unspooled.

Top

C.3. Extent of condition

It is also useful to give some indication of the extent to which the recorded sound item is physically affected by the condition. A simple or elaborate rating system may be developed which is appropriate to the requirements of the archive or cataloguing agency. For example, terms which could be applied in a simple rating of the extent of each condition would be: Slight, Medium or Extensive.

Analogue recording. 1. In the broadest sense, a method of recording in which some characteristic of the record current, such as amplitude or frequency, is continuously varied in a manner analogous to the variations of the original signal. 2. A logging of an event by one of various methods of capturing and storing a continuous replica of the source sound pattern by tracing an analogous pattern into another medium. The most commonly used storage methods have been: engraved or embossed modulated grooves in a disc; magnetic particle patterns in tape; optical patterns in film. RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Brand name (sound recording).
See Label name (sound recording).

Broadcast. To transmit via an electronic signal via radio or television; also known as radiocast for radio and telecast for television. In the context of The IASA Cataloguing Rules broadcasting is recognised as a form of publication. Based on RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Broadcast item. Includes sound recordings, films, kines or videos: a) prepared as the source for a broadcast; b) made by a radio or television station at the time of transmission; c) audiovisual recording of a received radio broadcast or television transmission. An item that has been used as an insert during a radio broadcast or television transmission (e.g. published sound recording or video) is not a broadcast item unless it was specifically prepared as the source for a broadcast. However, a recording that was made by a radio or television station at the time of transmission and that includes such inserts is a broadcast item. Likewise, an audio visual recording of a received radio broadcast or television transmission (i.e. off-air recording) with or without such inserts is also a broadcast item. Definition based on RAD p8-10
See also Published item; Unpublished item.

Carrier. The physical package (i.e. disc, film, tape, etc.), in or on which the audiovisual data or signal is fixed or recorded. RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Cartridge. A single core container (a double core container is called a cassette) enclosing audiovisual media (i.e. optical, grooved, or magnetic discs, tape, film) using, for tape/film media, a single spool, endless-loop configuration. Used for insertion of the medium into recorders, reader/printers and retrieval devices, the media requiring no threading or rewinding. Most audio tape cartridges contain two-channel, 8-track stereo recordings. From RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Cassette. An enclosed two-hub, core, or reel container (a single core is called a cartridge) enclosing film/tape/wire media with each end of the contained media being attached to one or the other hub, core, or reel. Common forms today include the compact audio cassette (introduced in 1964), the audio mini-cassette, and videocassettes. From RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Catalogue number (sound recording). Also known as order number or issue number. 1. The number(s), letter(s), and/or other symbols assigned to a publication by the publisher to establish a unique control of a particular publication. 2. The number, usually different from the matrix- or master-number(s), assigned by the publisher under which an item appears listed in catalogues, leaflets, and other publicity material issued by the company owning the rights to the recording. Usually common to all parts of the published item, appearing generally on each part of a multipart package as well as on the container for the multiple parts. This number may change when, or if, one or more of the parts are re-published again at a later date. Recordings have from time to time been published with the same catalogue number, both inadvertently and deliberately. Dubbings are sometimes assigned the original catalogue number, but frequently with a variant prefix or suffix. Based on RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994. Definition of "Issue number"

CD-single. A CD audio recording of a single, usually popular, music selection. RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

Cms, Cm/sec (centimetres per second). The measurement of the speed at which tape or wire recording passes through a tape or wire player. Tape speeds are based on the early standard of 30 ips (76 cm/sec). Successive improvements in tapes, head, and other equipment have permitted reductions to 15 ips (38 cm/sec) and 7½ ips (19 cm/sec) for professional tapes, and 3¾ ips (9,5 cm/sec) and 1 7/8 ips (4,75 cm/sec) for home use. In many areas ips are being replaced by the equivalent metric figures (i.e. cms or cm/sec). Extrapolated from RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994
See also Ips (inches per second).

Coarse groove. Term used to describe the channel size prevalent in 2-minute cylinders, and most shellac recordings often generically called 78 rpm discs, as opposed to the microgroove used in 33 1/3 rpm LP sound recordings. Based on RTAV Draft Glossary, 19 July 1994

See also Groove; Microgroove.

Collection. 1. In archival description, an artificial accumulation of documents of any provenance brought together on the basis of some common characteristic, e.g. way of acquisition, subject, language, medium, type of document, name of collector, which may be treated for descriptive purposes as a unit under a common title. 2. In a published compilation of recordings in an album, the contents are sometimes referred to as a collection. 3. The holdings of a collecting body such as library or archive which is developed, accessioned, catalogued, preserved, stored and made accessible is also known as a collection.

Cylinder (sound recording). The audio recording format invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1877/78. Originally made of a sheet of tin foil wrapped around grooved metal (the original signal was embossed into the foil), then wax, and later celluloid. Playing time lasted from two to four-plus minutes depending on the playback speed and threads or grooves per inch. Most makes of cylinders had grooves which threaded left-handed when looked at from the heavier end of the cylinder, and were tracked from left to right when viewed from the front of the record/playback machine. The inside was usually ribbed and lightly tapered to grip the mandrel, and the general dimensions of the standard cylinder were 4½-inches in length, 2¼-inches in external diameter, and a tapered internal diameter from 1 5/8- to 1¾-inches.
