Abstract

Abstract: This paper reflects on the place of books in archival collections and outlines the methodology used to incorporate Germaine Greer's publications and personal library in the Greer Archive. Identification and inclusion of metadata documenting context, significance to the creator and relationships to other records in the Archive, demonstrate the value that can be added to bibliographic records.
