As an addendum to the notice about the workbook now being available from
last summer's preconference, "Rare, Antiquarian, or Just Plain Old:
Cataloging Pre-Twentieth Century Cartographic Resources," many of you will
also be interested to know that a pdf of one of the PowerPoint
presentations at that preconference is available online at:

http://www.folger.edu/bsc/mapcatalogingworkshoptranscription.pdf

Experienced rare book cataloger and educator, Deborah J. Leslie, head of
cataloging at the Folger Shakespeare Library, has graciously made her
presentation on the transcription of early letter forms and symbols
available to all of us at that site.  It's a great supplement to
Cartographic Materials 2nd ed. 0H2 application and appendix G.1, and to the
wonderful Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) appendix G, as
it shows examples of how to apply the rules and applications and
interpretations of early letters forms and symbols when cataloging early
maps.
