Madison Price: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

About

This project aimed to capture metadata for all of the Office of Copyright Record's digitized copyright application cards and make them available through the Copyright Public Records System (CPRS). The current priority are records created between 1938 and 1945. To accomplish this, a vendor captured specific metadata from the cards. Madison Price, 2023 Junior Fellow, and two other interns acted as first level reviewers. They were the human side of an automated process, cleaning up errors and illegible text in the metadata for these cards before sending the files to second and final level reviewers. This involved referencing the extracted data file, the scanned image, and the Catalog of Copyright Entries to ensure the accuracy of the pulled information. The accuracy they ensure increases the findability and usability of these copyright records, some of which are the only digitized records available for a number of works. What Madison and the other reviewers can provide that a computer program cannot is historical context and a human perspective to the information on the cards. The goal is to provide library users with a historically important snapshot of the culture of the United States. These records are a gateway to millions of creative works from books to periodicals to music to sculptures and more. Through this project, Madison reviewed 6,000 cards to be uploaded for access by the public.
