Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
I use a different approach that works for me. I use the File ID box in the source detail. If I have a book in my personal library, I use "MyBook" in the field. If I have a paper copy of the source, I write a file name of where it is stored (Doc 17), and if I have a digital copy, I write "digital" in the field. You can print the File ID or not as you wish and you always know where you have the copy stored.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
This is not too confusing at all, especially since we recently had a thread resulting in a bug report about the Text box of a Source not printing every time (even when checked to do so). ;) I think the repository is supposed to be the ultimate repository... where someone would go to see the document. Your approach to put "I have a copy" or some such in the Comments box & print it on those reports where you want someone to know they can get a copy from you is the right approach, imho. The bug in printing just makes it look like it's not the right approach. Hope THAT made sense. --Paula --- On Wed, 7/8/09, Cathy Vallevieni wrote: > From: Cathy Vallevieni > Subject: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items > To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com > Date: Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 9:52 PM > I want the end notes to reflect that > I have copies of Vital Record Documents (i.e. Birth > Certificate), books that I own which I am citing as a > source, photos of grave markers that I am citing as a > source, etc. The rationale is so the reader knows I > have the actual document and also that they can obtain a > copy from me as well as from the original repository. > > For some, I am the only repository (i.e. a photo of a grave > marker).

Strictly speaking, your Sources should reflect where *you* obtained the evidence for the data you have recorded, so it follows that if you own a copy of the book you consulted, then you are the repository. If you have provided full details of the publication it should not be difficult for another researcher to find another copy of your source if your own is unavailable to them. If I go to my local library and look something up in a book, I would (if I bothered to record repositories!) name my local library as the repository. I wouldn't see any need to record all the other places where that book was available, even if that was possible. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
Cathy, To answer the first part of your question, I do have a repository "Personal Possession of the Author." I use this for any original document, book, etc., that I actually own and possess. To answer the second part, I just did a quick test on one of my citations of a book that is in the local library. I have a copy of the page that I am citing. I entered a Comment in the Source Detail, "copy of this page in the author's possession." When I ran the report, I chose End notes, but I unclicked the option to combine multiple citations into one paragraph. The comment appeared in both instances of the citation. If I were you, this is what I would do. Dede Holden On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 2:27 AM, RICHARD SCHULTHIES wrote: > > I have two examples on my thinking.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
I have two examples on my thinking. Over the years I have made photocopies 0f the US Census in at least 2 NARA, over a dozen libraries/repositories, (including Ancestry and LDS). I decided to use the NARA in Washington DC for all. Anything I created (photos, etc.), I am also the repository. All books I own are the same.

[LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
I want the end notes to reflect that I have copies of Vital Record Documents (i.e. Birth Certificate), books that I own which I am citing as a source, photos of grave markers that I am citing as a source, etc. The rationale is so the reader knows I have the actual document and also that they can obtain a copy from me as well as from the original repository. For some, I am the only repository (i.e. a photo of a grave marker). In this case I am considering listing me as the repository. Does anyone have an opinion or suggestion?
