Improving Metadata of Mormon Missionary Diaries
The collection of Mormon Missionary Diaries at the L Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University is a very difficult collection to search and find materials as there are three different databases that each have different information. The Whittaker Bibliography, the Manuscript Collection, and the Digital Collection. Each have cause confusion and frustration for both staff and patron because of the many ineffective an inaccurate searches. My project was bringing these three different databases together and transferring the metadata into a one new database.
