Motivation edit

The Church of England's National Church Institutions’ Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue contains detailed records of half a million archive items, including ~15K+ records of the Incorporated Church Building Society about individual churches and chapels in the Lambeth Palace Library (Q30264838). Its places database contains identifiers for ~3500 significant places related to items in the archives. These place records provide consolidated links to documents related to the place; see the example at Pembrokeshire.

Note that due to separate items for modern and historic counties, civil and religious parishes, etc., the distinct qualifiers constraint is not appropriate for this property. - PKM (talk) 21:23, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

(Note: property was originally proposed as "Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue place ID")

Strong support Very interesting set of records, very well indexed. And useful systematic hierarchical labels to help with matching/disambiguation. A very useful link to be able to add for places and buildings for which there is material in the Lambeth Palace and central archives of the CofE. As with the other proposals in this trio, my only quibble would be the property name, which IMO needs to be both snappier and more specific. Perhaps "CofE archives place ID". But the exact label is something that can be evolved. For the present let's get this created without delay, so we can get matching the (relatively limited) number of items.

- Comment As with the related properties, I am happy with renaming this to "CofE archives place ID". - PKM (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
