Abstract

The paper presents a standardised scheme for describing the whole Slavonic Manuscript Collection kept at the Plovdiv Public Library and its adaptation to the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data. A template for cataloguing is introduced, which has been tested on 58 fragments. So far all 137 bibliographic records have been processed and another 40 manuscripts from the XIX century are yet to be catalogued. This will present the Slavonic Manuscript Collection of the Plovdiv Public Library in its entirety.
