UK Source Categories/Source Types
	Applies to all versions (Already included in TMG UK Edition v6.0 and later)

As noted above, there UK Source Types are already included in TMG UK Edition v6.0 and later.  Users of those versions may still benefit for reading the below and especially the accompanying instructions that are noted below.

Some time ago, Caroline Gurney designed and used about 70 Custom Source Categories relating to source documents in the United Kingdom.  While these Custom Source Types were primarily for use in her data set, she graciously shared those with others.  Recently she has updated her Custom Source Categories/Source Types designed for use in the United Kingdom and added some other so that there are now 82 Custom UK Source Types.

Caroline continues to be gracious in sharing her Custom Source Types. She has furnished files that you may download for use with both TMG v4x and for TMGW v5x.  Both files also have accompanying instruction files to help you apply these Source Types to either version.  In addition to helping you install the Custom Source Types in your copy of TMG, the instructions also contain tips and suggestions about what information should be entered into some Source Elements that may not be obvious from the Source Element names.   

If you are using TMGW v4x, you will want to download these two files:

(a) the new file of 82 custom source categories for TMG 4, called UKTMG4.CSC.
(b) the accompanying instructions called "UK Source Template instructions TMG 4.rtf"

If you are using TMGW v5x, you will want to download these two files:

(c) a backup of a TMG 4.0d dataset containing the 82 Source Types designed for import into TMG 5, called UKTMG4.SQZ
(d) the accompanying instructions to import the backup into TMG 5 and the subsequent merger of the 2 datasets, "UK Source Template instructions TMG 5.rtf"

The above seems to have become somewhat dated since it was originally posted a few years ago.  I have combined some things and updated files for use with TMG v6x. So if you are using TMG v6x, you will want to download these two files:

(e) a backup of a TMG v6.09 project containing the 82 Source Types designed to restore into TMG v6.09 and later, called UK Sources v6x.SQZ  (after downloading, please rename the file to UKSourcesv6x.SQZ so that TMG will recognize the file for restoring.
(f) the accompanying instructions to restore the backup into TMG 6 and merging with your project and data set, UK Source Template Instructions TMG 6.rtf
 

NOTE:  Be sure to save these files with their file extensions of CSC, RTF, and/or SQZ.

If you do research in the United Kingdom (UK) these Custom Source Types will be very helpful.  On the other hand, even if you do not do any research in the UK, there is much that any TMG user can learn about Custom Source Types by reviewing Caroline Gurney's work.
