ORMONDE PUBLISHING
In 1990 Mindata acquired the titles formerly published by Ormonde and
these are incorporated in this website.
MEDIA
EXCHANGE COMMITMENT
However, should any of our titles be subsequently published in
electronic or digital media, Mindata undertakes to accept return
of microform editions for credit towards editions in the new
medium.
CAPTIONS
Identification of individual images can present a problem to
microform users; all Mindata pictorial monochrome microfiche
include caption or reference details on each frame. Typical of
the information given is: name of artist, title and description
of work, dimensions, museum or gallery reference number, negative
number. Mindata microfilm images include frame reference numbers
keyed to printed indexes.
INDEXES
Where appropriate, a printed index and table of contents is provided
with each microform collection. Artist indexes are in alphabetical
order while the decorative arts are usually filmed in chronological
order by type of object, grouped separately by country. Buildings
and monuments are indexed topographically.
PRESENTATION
Microfiche have an eye-legible title strip with sequential numbering,
and eye-legible title frames. Many microfiche collections are
presented in A4 library ring binders, with fiche in slotted panels.

IMAGE
QUALITY
Most of the microfiche illustrations were filmed from high-quality
photographic prints, allowing considerable enlargement of the fiche
image. Others, and all the microfilm images, were filmed from the original
drawings, watercolours, engravings and etchings.
MICROFORM

archival quality. They conform to international standards and may
be read on any viewer designed to accept 105mm x 148mm microfiche,
