Source Templates

Ver. 5

Some time ago, Caroline Gurney designed and used about 70 Custom Source Categories relating to source documents in the United Kingdom.  While these Custom Source Types were primarily for use in her data set, she graciously shared those with others.  Recently she has updated her Custom Source Categories/Source Types designed for use in the United Kingdom and added some other so that there are now 82 Custom UK Source Types.

Caroline continues to be gracious in sharing her Custom Source Types. She has furnished files that you may download for use with both TMG v4x and for TMGW v5x.  Both files also have accompanying instruction files to help you apply these Source Types to either version.  In addition to helping you install the Custom Source Types in your copy of TMG, the instructions also contain tips and suggestions about what information should be entered into some Source Elements that may not be obvious from the Source Element names.   

If you are using TMGW v5x, you will want to download these two files:

(c) a backup of a TMG 4.0d dataset containing the 82 source types designed for import into TMG 5, called UKTMG5.SQZ
(d) the accompanying instructions for import into TMG 5 and merger of the 2 datasets, "UK Source Template instructions TMG 5.rtf".

NOTE:  Be sure to save these files with their file extensions of CSC, RTF, and SQZ.  If your downloading appends a different file extension (such as ZIP), then just rename the file by removing the extra extension.

If you do research in the United Kingdom these Custom Source Types will be very helpful.  On the other hand, there is much that any TMG user can learn about Custom Source Types by reviewing Caroline Gurney's work.
