Like my fellow group members, my project work for both this week and next week consists of entering my quarter of the LCHP Omeka site’s metadata into our Airtable inventory spreadsheet. At this point I have inputted 70 records, with 115 more (some more of which will be done tonight and tomorrow) to be done by April 12.

So far I’ve been mostly focusing on inventorying what is already there, and only adding what I can add quickly, but I plan to go back and add more at the end. I ended up leaving the “Document Creation Location” column in my tab for now, because once I got to the Oral Histories it seemed useful to note where they were recorded.

For further along in the project plan, Jesse said that he has some examples of contributor guides he can show us, which should be very helpful.

Now back to metadata!
