Abstract

This paper will describe the way in which the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, through its eCATNI project, will convert its hard copy calendars into a digital catalogue freely available on the Internet. The universal applicability of some of eCATNI's methodologies, particularly in relation to transcription and the measures taken to ensure that the e-catalogue has scholarly integrity, will be emphasized as a means of promoting best practice.
