Abstract
Abstract (Lang: English):This annotation describes the HMML Authority File (HAF), an open access database of authority records used by the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library that currently focuses on name authorities related to the Eastern Christian and Islamic manuscript traditions, but will eventually include all of HMML’s authority files. It explains the project’s history, describes how the file is populated, and discusses the best methods for searching and accessing the rich data stored in the file. As the file is a Beta project, the annotation also discusses its shortcomings and their intended solutions, as well as other future directions.
