This webpage serves as a gateway to Heritage Protocol related–databases. These databases will provide access points for visitors to the Heritage Protocol website who would like to dig a little deeper into the records.
The Heritage Protocol Inventory Database
Fundamental to the mission of the Heritage Protocol project is that every item within the collection, in addition to being identified and preserved, be cataloged. Every item that falls within the scope of the Heritage Protocol Collection will therefore be indexed in the database regardless of the type of medium or the location where it is housed or archived. This database provides descriptions of collections for artifacts such as personal papers, manuscripts, departmental records, photographs, audio and video recordings, and assorted memorabilia and three-dimensional items. The database is categorized, and can be browsed, by Collection Title, Subject, Creator, Archival Record Group, and Digital Library. The database can also be searched by keyword, phrase, or simple Boolean logic. The digital component links to a digital object, either one within the database or a record created by the FSU Libraries Digital Library Center Institutional Repository and housed in their database.
The database used for indexing the Heritage Protocol Collection is Archon, which was developed by archivists at the University of Illinois at Champaign.
FSU History and Heritage Collections
The FSU History and Heritage Collection is a group of subcollections that make up the rich and unique history of Florida State University. It is only one component of the FSU Libraries Digital Library Center Institutional Repository, a collection that includes other DLC digital collections from images to Special Collections Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aids to text including "open access" electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) for the scholarly communications, research, and learning communities.
The database used for storing these digital objects is Digitool, a digital asset-management software.
