Add a Publication Exemplar

Example of a specific exemplar of 'The Harmonie Universelle by Marin Mersene (1636)'

1. Indicate an Exemplar Reference & definition and select the Serially Produced Source to which he belongs

The first step is to give your Exemplar an exemplar reference. This can be your own naming, an official title or a library reference. In that case: Marin Mersenne's personal copy of ‘Harmonie universelle’.

It is important to add a small definition. This will help you and other users to understand and identify the source object. Give some details about the exemplar or indicate where it is located.

Then, you can select the Serially Produced Source to which this exemplar belongs. To do that, use the field "is example of". A drop-down list will appear containing the Serially Produced Source already integrated in the Geovistory library.

Note that the Serially Produced Source must have been created first or added to your project from an existing entity in order to find it in the drop-down menu.

2. Add a short title and supply the collection to which this exemplar belongs

In the basic filed section, you can add a short title in order to facilitate your search, and indicate a type. For example "author exemplar", "library exemplar" or "missing exemplar".

Hint: If you need to detail specific characteristics of your Publication Exemplar (like its texture or materiality), check whether an appropriate exists and otherwise contact the Geovistory team to help you out.

As with, it is possible to specify in which collection or repository the Exemplar is stored, for exemple the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).
