![]() There are transcription conventions regarding issues such as expanded abbreviations, textual omissions, cancellations, illegible letters, or the end of manuscript lines (see suggestions for transcription conventions here). Once you have uploaded your image files as ‘documents’ onto the NTE, you can be transcribing. Most institutions keep the copyright of digitised material so take care when downloading this material. If the relevant material has already digitised by the institution and you plan on uploading digitized images of manuscript folios or archival material directly onto the NTE (as a ‘document’) for future transcription, check with the institution before doing so and confirm that you have permission, particularly if you plan on making it ‘public’. In addition, there might be further handling conventions if photographing material. Normally, written permission does not need to be sought if it is for personal research, but if you plan on uploading material to CENDARI and making it public (‘publishing’), contact the staff to confirm that you can have permission to do this, as it might fall under copyright rules and permissions and payment for publication might be needed. As always, check with the reading room staff before photographing any material. Many libraries and archives now allow personal photography of material for research purposes. These rules might include the use of weights or ‘snakes’, cotton gloves for certain items, a ban on all ink pens even for taking personal notes, boxes for unbound material, or special regulations for opening rolls, maps or large items. Research if possible before visiting the institution, and always ask for either copy of their handling rules or a verbal explanation.
