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 This mostly concerns unpublished and broadcast recordings but may apply to published items, in particular those which appear on vulnerable formats.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.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.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.

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.

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.

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.

Restricted: no access permitted until 30 (thirty) years after the donor's death

10.B.5. Physical descriptionDescribe the physical characteristics of the copy following the rules in Area 5. Add further detail, as required, in the notes (see also 7.B.14).

10.B.6. Series/Collection statement - DO NOT USE. Instead give collection statements or information relating to published series in the bibliographic record (see Area 6).

10.B.7. Notes
See also: 10.B.2.3

10.B.7.1. If appropriate, the first note must describe the audiovisual characteristics and/or the physical condition of the source material to be copied (see 7.B.10, 7.B.14-7.B.16).

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

10.B.7.4. Additionally, notes may also be included here regardless of whether or not the item is being copied. These may be notes on physical description (see 7.B.14), physical condition (see 7.B.15), quality of the recording (see 7.B.16) conservation/preservation (see 7.B.17), and on item or copy being described (see 7.B.28) may be included here.

10.B.7.5. For additional guidance on terms for describing the physical condition of sound recordings, see Appendix C.

10.B.7.6. Where the item is acquired from an external source, include the name of the source and the date and method of the acquistion (see 7.B.32).

10.B.8. Copy number(s)

10.B.8.1. Include any numbering associated with the copy, including local shelf-marks or accession numbers and external batch processing or contractor numbers.

Dubbing contractor's reference: JB 450

10.B.8.2.Since the properties of certain batches or makes of recordable carrier may be significant to future conservators or sound engineers, record the serial number of the carrier(s) used for the copy.

Physical description: 2 CDRs 63m (Red Book)

CD-R serial nos. 414616121305, 414616121327

10.B.8.3.Where there may be some variation between catalogue number information for different formats of the same release of a published recording, give the label and catalogue number information applicable to the item being described.

10.B.9. Reference to other copy number(s)While reference will already have been made to the source copy number in 10.B.2, there may be other copies related to the copy being described. These copies may be the results of earlier conservation activity which are themselves deteriorating and in need of replacement or they may be part of some archival policy to generate in all cases an access or playback copy as well as an archive or preservation copy. Include the numbers of any related copies with appropriate annotations.
