May 22, 2013 - "The Sequel"

Today, I continued work on the Sackett Collection.

I didn't know where to start, so I decided to input metadata for the negatives of the first book. I found the 1922 Wallulah that helped me immensely, and I filled in some blanks and corrected some errors from reading handwriting.

The second half of the shift, I took to scanning. I started with the photographs that were left in book 2 and I transferred them to book 4 with new labels (except the ones where the negatives were already scanned). I then continued on the negatives from the 3rd album. One tricky thing is that the descriptions only begin at sleeve 10, and thus, I have many negatives from sleeves 01-09 that have no descriptions associated with them. I've also put the file information into the spreadsheet and wrote a note to remind myself which negatives were in which sleeve.
