Join BAC and BACS for our next joint Business Bites event on the theme of Cataloguing Business Archives.

Cataloguing is a main component of an Archivist’s work. But there is no one size fits all process, and the subject matter of a collection can dictate the way it is catalogued and made available. This is particularly true of Business Archive collections, where not only the subject matter, but also organisational pressures, processes and understanding of archives can all impact on how collections are catalogued. The source of the funding used to catalogue the collection can also have an impact on process.

Business Archive Council Cataloguing Grant winners, Dorset History Centre, will be talking about their experience of cataloguing The Yellow Buses Archive. The Yellow Buses collection is the largest transport collection held at the DHC and is unique in its size and breadth.

Our speaker will be Emma Blowers from the Dorset History Centre. Emma has worked in Dorset Council's Archives and Records Service since June 2023. She is currently working in two roles as Digital Preservation Archivist and on the cataloguing projects for the business archives of Yellow Buses (Bournemouth Transport Ltd) and Wessex Water.
