Normalised Acquisition Details
The acquisition details given on the flimsy slips have been normalised during transcription to enable filtering and analysis (e.g. by auction house sale, or by date).

The normalised acquisition date is:

- an exact date of acquisition where this is written on the flimsy slip, or

- the latest date at which the item can have been acquired by the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum, where the date written on the card is given only as a month, year, or span of days, e.g. a written acquisition date of August 1952 would be normalised to 31 August 1952; a written acquisition date of 1924 would be normalised to 31 December 1924; a sale held on 17-20 January 1930 would be normalised to 20 January 1930; or

- the date at which the item is known to have been processed by the WHMM Accessions Department, if no other date is written on the card

Where no date at all is written on the flimsy slip, the field is left blank unless the date of acquisition can be reasonably assumed from other contextual evidence (e.g. adjacent objects acquired from the same source); such assumptions are recorded in the Transcription Notes.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
