Chemawa Prints Project Day 14

The editing and scanning for the sixth box are finished. I have begun to fill in the missing metadata, but I will have to continue this tomorrow. This will take a few hours tomorrow. I came across more hidden prints. CH 1755 b and c were hidden behind 1755 a. Neither are duplicates. Both b and c have metadata, but they are listed in the same cells and 1755 a. I have digitized these two as well as the one I came across yesterday. They have ID #s CH 3321-3323. I will get sleeves for them and put them in the large empty box with the collection as well as add to the metadata so they have their own data cells. 

I continued to work on the metadata by adding columns for 'filename,' 'Date,' 'Subjects,' and 'Title' and editing 'Black and white or color' and 'Paper dimensions.'

An interesting print I came across today show young female students operating some sort of pulley system (CH 1602). Did the young women build this contraption that looks like a science project? Is this evidence of young women in STEM in the 1950s or 1960s?
