I forgot to write update the blog yesterday so I will be writing for both today and yesterday today. I am still working on Box 18. Although there may not be a lot of folders, there are envelopes of pictures inside the folders which will make the process much longer than originally anticipated. For the past few weeks I have been writing that I think the Campus Photos Project is almost done, but I am beginning to realize that the process will never be finished because we can always add to the collection, which is bittersweet.
Sarah also gave me Paulus photos to work on, and I think I have those done, but I want to make sure that I don't run into anymore before I give them back.
Overall, it has been a productive week. I am hoping to add just a few more hours each week so I can get through some of this material more quickly than I am now.
I took a quick look to see how box 18 is coming, and the scans and metadata look good. As far as I know, this really is the last box of the Campus Photo collection, but as you say, it could come up again! Keep your eye out for anything that looks like "Glee" photographs, as we'll put those into the Glee collection. The work with these photos will put you in good stead for working with the Sackett photographs, which is another collection of 1920's photos.
