I think the Campus Photos project is almost done. I've been saving my notes on it for now so that we can have them all in one place. Here are a few details that need to be answered/fixed before this phase is done though:
1. From the sheet of photos that were not in the digital collection and needed to be pulled an scanned, only two were in the boxes. I don't know if this means they are on display somewhere or if they just aren't there. Are there any other places where the hard copy of the photos could be?
2. a) From the sheet of photos that needed names put into CONTENTdm, I accidentally uploaded two of the photos before they were finished and I can't access them anymore. I think Sara will need to "approve" them so I can go back and edit them.(WP 1035 and WP 1292)
b) I could not put in the names from the first photo on that list because I couldn't read the names. (WP 1023)
3. WP 0563 had "professors" mistakenly written instead of "architects." I changed it on the excel spreadsheet but I could not on CONTENTdm because of the editing/approving issue again. That one will either need to be fixed by Sara or by me if she can "approve" it so I have access to edit it again.
4. There is also the issue of another box of photos that I found sitting with the other WU Campus Photos boxes. The photos in them do not match the descriptions of the photos I talked about above. I'm pretty sure they are WP 2448-WP 2610 (WP 2611 is also highlighted but I remember that photo and I am fairly certain that it is in Box 16) that were highlighted in yellow on the excel spreadsheet. I labeled the photos with their WP numbers. They still need to be organized, put into folders/archive preserve plastic and stamped. I don't know what to label the box though, because the photos are in the middle of Boxes 15 and 16.
Hi Bronte - I've approved the photos so you should be able to go back in and edit them now. Do go ahead and make the fixes you mention.
ReplyDeleteFor the mysterious box that you found, please do go ahead and label/organize/sleeve/stamp. You can label the box 17, and fill in the box column on the spreadsheet to say 17. These will also need to be edited in CONTENTdm to update the identifier field to include the box number. For example, this one would be "WP 2448, Box 17":

Once those steps are done you can remove the yellow highlighting from the spreadsheet.
I probably won't see you on Wednesday but will check in on Thursday.
