Checking Archive Links

On Friday 6th March I continued to work in the Special Collections department of the Robinson Libarary, working on the Bloodaxe Archive. My work this time involved going through a list of the different writers within the archive and writing an epithet for use in the archive, whilst also searching for other archive links from other archiving institutions. For example:

Surname    Forename   Date     Epithet                                                              Other  archive links
Padel           Ruth            1946      a British poet, novelist and non-fiction author

This work, like my previous work with the archive, was quite a simple but methodical task that I had to check thoroughly to ensure that I didn't miss any links, and that the person that I was checking corresponded with the right information about that individual. This helped me to strengthen my skills of perception and quicken my understanding and acknowledgement of when I had done something wrong.
