Colleagues-- A colleague of ours in an area beyond art librarianship needs advice on indexing software. If anyone among the ARLISians can lend assistance, please do contact Sarah off-list. With thanks on her behalf, Jenni -- Jenni Rodda, Manager Digital Media and Computer Services Institute of Fine Arts 1 East 78th Street New York, NY 10075 212/992-5872 voice, 212/992-5807 fax [log in to unmask] OR [log in to unmask] **************************** Dear ARLIS-L readers, I am the Putnam County (NY) Historian, new to public history and from an academic teaching background. I am reaching out to the library community directly, seeking assistance: One of my colleagues is transcribing several Philipstown Town Clerk’s books from the nineteenth century in Microsoft Word 2010. We are wondering if anyone in the listserv community can offer advice about indexing software to use in conjunction with this archival project to make for easier searching of these transcriptions. Here are our parameters: MSWord 2010 and PC compatible; indexing for first and last names with variant spellings; recognition of proper names; capable of creating hierarchy lists (e.g. Smith, and then all first names under Surname); a program that will regenerate and/or update frequently with changes; software that will allow for index output in more than one media—print and web-based. This name-based index is different from my previous (though limited) experience with indexing for academic books. Can anyone recommend open source or relatively inexpensive indexing software (in the $100-400 range for one license) that is easy to use and any fine tuning pointers? Please contact me directly, if you have any suggestions or ideas for us! Thank you very much for your recommendations, Sarah Johnson, Ph.D. Putnam County Historian 68 Marvin Avenue Brewster, NY 10509 845-808-1420 ext. 44117 [log in to unmask] Please like *Putnam Historian* on Facebook! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
