Voyager will accept 5XX tags in any order, but using the above recommended order will simplify the OPAC display for 5XX fields displaying under the "Notes" label. Field order for other fields is determined by Voyager configuration documents.
Use subfield ‡3 (materials specified) in 5XX fields as necessary, particularly when describing components of large collections.
Avoid using abbreviations in note fields, unless transcribing a quote from the collection itself.
Example:
506 __ ‡3 Correspondence: ‡a restricted until 2020. Consult the appropriate curator for further information.

Use this field as a scope and content note. If there is a collection finding aid, derive this note from the description of the collection and the series descriptions in the finding aid. List materials found in the collection that reflect the major occupations/activities of the individual and/or organization, being as concise as possible. Use a 545 (Biographical or historical data) field, however, for biographical data and historical information that puts the materials in context.
Begin in general terms and move to greater detail, stating information in the following order:
- Forms of material present, including direct or implied reference to anything traced in the 655 field that is not otherwise apparent from the record. Optionally, note the presence of transcripts created by later owners or readers.
- A brief summary of the particular research strengths of the collection either in terms of topics covered or formats particularly well represented.
- Unusual features worth noting, if traced.
- Characterization of the correspondents if not covered above, possibly listing individuals or types of correspondents (e.g. critics, historians.) Individuals specifically named should be traced as 600s. Use phrases like "Correspondents include ... " or "Principal correspondents are ..."
Follow Chicago Manual of Style for title capitalization, grammar, and style. Generally, spell out words, and avoid abbreviations. Enter a space between initials in personal names, as in an established heading. If a writer is unidentified, use "unidentified," rather than "unknown".
Although paragraphing is not possible within a single 520 field, multiple 520 fields will display as separate paragraphs in the OPAC.
Optionally, use subfield ‡3 to describe a specific item or group of materials within a collection. Subfield ‡3 is not repeatable in a single 520; enter multiple ‡3 subfields in separate 520 fields. When describing specific items, optionally add collation information to the description of the item in the 520 note.
Examples:
300 __ ‡a 2 ‡f boxes (1.5 linear feet)
520 __ ‡3 Letters: ‡a 7 autograph letters, signed (18 p.). Detailing events in San Francisco following the 1906 earthquake and fire.
520 __ ‡3 Diaries: ‡a 12 volumes, 1848-1850, covering his tenure as American ambassador to France.
100 1_ ‡a Vance, Cyrus R. ‡q (Cyrus Roberts), ‡d 1917-
245 00 ‡a Cyrus R. Vance and Grace Sloane Vance papers, ‡f 1942-2002 (inclusive).
520 __ ‡a The Vance papers primarily document Cyrus R. Vance's professional and personal activities. Of particular significance are background materials, correspondence, position papers, and handwritten meeting notes relating to SALT II negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union; the Camp David Summit and the signing of the Middle East Peace Treaty; diplomatic relations with the Far East, especially China; and negotiations to release the American hostages in Iran. Proposals, reports, handwritten notes, and correspondence provide insight into the dispute between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus in 1967, federal recovery assistance to Detroit after the riot of 1967, and the Paris Peace Talks on Vietnam in 1968. Governmental statements and commentaries, draft bills, and Senate committee background materials from 1958 document Vance's involvement in the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA). Extensive files of position papers, project proposals, meeting minutes, reports, publications, and handwritten notes document Vance's involvement with various events and organizations following his resignation from the Carter administration. The collection also contains manuscript drafts used for Vance's book Hard Choices: Critical Years in America's Foreign Policy.
110 2_ ‡a Coalition to Stop Trident.
245 00 ‡a Coalition to Stop Trident records, ‡f 1969-1996 (inclusive).
520 __ ‡a The records consist of administrative records, correspondence, publications, subject files, and photographs documenting the history, structure, philosophies, and activities of the Coalition to Stop Trident as well as other groups working to stop the production and deployment of Trident submarines and missiles in Connecticut and New England. There are also subject files which place the local activities of these Connecticut groups into the context of the national and international disarmament movement.
100 1_ ‡a Gregory, Alyse, ‡d 1884-1967.
245 10 ‡a Alyse Gregory papers, ‡f 1888-1982 ‡g (bulk 1939-1967).
520 __ ‡a The collection consists chiefly of correspondence, with smaller amounts of diaries, writings, notebooks, artworks, photographs, and other personal papers. Also present are papers of others closely associated with Gregory, including papers of Llewelyn Powys; writings of John Cowper Powys and Edna St. Vincent Millay; and diaries of Gertrude Powys. Accompanying these is a small amount of correspondence and notes of Rosemary Manning, concerning Gregory's papers.
520 __ ‡a The collection documents Gregory's literary friendships and personal relationships, particularly with Llewelyn Powys, his siblings and the Powys circle, colleagues associated with The Dial, and the Gregory family; her writing and intellectual interests; and her efforts to edit her diaries and correspondence and those of Llewelyn Powys.
100 1_ ‡a Darrach, Bartow, ‡d 1831-1863.
245 10 ‡a Bartow Darrach letters, ‡f 1852-1856.
520 __ ‡a 115 ALS written by Bartow Darrach while living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kentucky; and Kansas Territory; most to his parents, James and Helena White Darrach, New York; his brother, William Bradford Darrach; and other family members in the East. Five letters are dated at Philadelphia, 1852-1853, and relate to the completion of Darrach's medical studies and his application to the United States Navy for an appointment as a medical officer. Approximately half of the letters are dated at Eddyville, Kentucky, 1853-1855, and concern Darrach's work in establishing a medical practice there.
520 __ ‡a Darrach moved to Kansas Territory in 1855; circa fifty letters dated at Osawatomie, 1855-1856, contain a detailed narrative of the lives of settlers and events of the Kansas border war, including discussion of elections and constitutional conventions; events in Lawrence and other fighting between free soil and slavery advocates; and the killings at Pottawatomie by John Brown and the subsequent sack of Osawatomie. The letters are accompanied by an ink and watercolor portrait, 1843.
245 __ ‡a Texas legal documents, ‡f 1832-1895 ‡‚g (bulk 1832-1869).
520 __ Manuscript legal documents, written in various hands and signed by court officers and other individuals. Most documents were filed at the Nacogdoches County Court and include docketing annotations on versos; also represented are courts of other Texas counties. Many documents relate to summoning of juries, probate court business, bonds for court appearances, and trial proceedings. Some early documents certify Republic of Texas citizenship, military service, and land bounties. Also present are a few documents concerning slavery and freedmen, elections, appointment of government officials, land tenure, and petitions for road construction. Some items are annotated or accompanied by holograph notes written by Alex Dienst, identifying writers of documents and their significance in Texas history.

For corporate bodies, include as much of the following information as is available: full name, founding and closing dates, location, and purpose and function(s).
Provide a space between initials in personal names, just as in an established heading. Otherwise, it is not necessary to conform to the authorized form of the name in this field. For example, if birth and death dates are known, but the authorized form of the name does not include them, give them at the beginning of the 545 field, following the name.
Compose the 545 with the 520 (Summary, etc.) in mind: the 520 gives collection content that reflects biographical information in 545. Optionally, use multiple 545 fields for notes on more than one individual or organization. If little or no biographical/historical information is available, the 545 field may be omitted, and any available information integrated in a 520 field.
Although paragraphing is not possible within a single 545 field, multiple 545 fields will display as separate paragraphs in the OPAC.
Examples:
545 __ ‡a Walter Millsap was from 1916 to 1919 an active member of the Utopian Llano colony, a socialist community which moved from its original location in California to Louisiana in 1917. Millsap was trustee of United Co-Operative Industries and head of the Llano Co-Operative Association.
545 __ ‡a Keikichi Akana Imamura was a salesman for Millsap's United Co-Operative Industries before World War II and an adjunct professor in Oriental languages at Yale University in the fall of 1945.
545 __ ‡a Richard Wright, journalist, novelist and lecturer, author of Native Son and Black Boy.
545 __ ‡a William Henry White graduated from Yale University in 1900. He went to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush, arriving in August, 1900, and initially serving as a representative of a thawing machine company, involving R. M. Elliot, H. C. Elliot, and White's father, George L. White. In September, 1900, William Henry White began working for the Office of the Gold Commissioner, Yukon Territory, Canada. He was appointed mining recorder for the Dawson District in January, 1901, and for the Forty Mile District in February, 1901. White returned to Waterbury, Connecticut, in July, 1901.

Use for finding aids, indexes, card files, etc. The text of this field is determined locally. Use "finding aid" to refer to lists in Archives at Yale. If referring to other guides or listings not there, be specific (for example, "Preliminary list available for correspondence in box..."). For manuscripts for which analytics also have been made, use this field to note parts which have been individually cataloged.
Use first indicator 0 for finding aids.
Do not enter the words "Indexes:" or "Finding Aids:", as these terms are supplied in the OPAC field label.

Use to record the source of acquisition. Optionally also include provenance information relating to previous owners. Statements can include information such as date, gift, purchase or other type of acquisition, full name of donor or vendor, and fund. If a purchase was made through an agent from an auction house, state the name of the auction house, and do not state the agent (for example, "Purchased from Sotheby's"). Do not include confidential information such as price, value, address, or phone number. Do not name people who have requested anonymity (see example, below). Optionally, if it is unclear whether materials were a gift or a purchase, use the phrase "Acquired from." The 561 field can be left out entirely if there is no provenance information available.
Optionally, if the donor is a Yale graduate, note that information as part of the donor name. Note that the correct format for citing the class is Yale [yyyy], e.g. Bequest of Paul Mellon (Yale 1929), 2000. Gift of Susan and John Doe (Yale 1954), 1974-1995. As in this last example, indicate Yale class date immediately following the corresponding name. In this case, John is a Yale graduate, while Susan is not.
Enter information in a single field. Do not use separate subfields for each indication of ownership. For collections with finding aids, this provenance statement here should match or closely follow that in the finding aid.
Do not use the 541 field (immediate source of acquisition); use the 561 for all provenance information included in the catalog record. The 541 field was originally intended to include confidential information, such as purchase price. Before RLIN21, the 541 field was part of the archival segment. The 541 field does not display to the public or other institutions, while the 561 field is publicly visible. Because Orbis does not mask any field, all fields are visible in the OPAC MARC view. For these reasons, Yale repositories maintain confidential information in local databases, and use 561 for all other provenance information.
Examples:
561 __ ‡a Gift of Charles Eberstadt, 1961.
561 __ ‡a Acquired by exchange, 1996.
561 __ ‡a Purchased from Goodspeed's Book Shop, Inc., 1950. Letter of Nov. 14, 1844 gift of Charles Goodspeed, 1952.
561 __ ‡a Gift of an anonymous donor in 1987.
561 __ ‡a Gift of Bret Jones, 1947. Formerly held in Manuscripts and Archives, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University as MS 700 before transfer to Beinecke Library in 1996.
