Stringed

collection
Physical screen
designed for these
instruments –
everything else
had to fit around it
– including
images.
Custodian only
included a few
measurements,
and not as
complicated as
keyboards

Problems
with the table;
tried also by
copying and
pasting the
table from
Word, but
formatting
would not
hold, nor
would
‘tabbing’

Web version screen shot
when trying to work it out
Did not work on the web –
string lengths and pins,
and also string names, got
into a real mess
A case for .pdf ...

Multimedia tab.
Note also that
each image
needed an
explanatory
caption –
another reason
for use of .pdf
Too many
measurements
in record, so
best solution
Academy
archive and
other
collections are
spread across
Unicorn
(library) –
upper left; new
archive
module
(library/special
collections) –
upper right
and the
catalogue
(document,
left, and
image, right).
All items from
the Yehudi
Menuhin
archive and a
search on the
composer Sir
Edward Elgar.
Too many typos, above! Needs a
good edit before going onto the web.
Typical search
screen across the
general catalogue
and the new archive
module
Items from the
archive module are
listed below the
catalogue items, on
blank lines – they
need a line showing
‘brief description’ to
be edited into the
module before web
implementation can
go ahead, and even
for internal use
A helpful and useful search
on the catalogue (top line) /
archive (lower line)
A source for the
presentation of a medal
relating to the conductor
Hans von Bulow, to violinist
Yehudi Menuhin, now
shows the event and date
at which this was done.
