Chemawa Prints Project Day 16

I finished scanning and editing the last box. I will finish titling through 1981 then move on to the second large box holding the envelopes. The editing of the metadata is almost finished, apart from the titles which will be finished parallel to the scanning and editing.

Mary and I took a look at the loose prints and other items in the first large box that do not have accession numbers. I talked to Professor Dobkins, and these items had been sitting in her office, so there is no plan to digitize them with the prints I am working on now or give them accession numbers.

I had been struggling with the most respectful way to record gender and sex in the titles and descriptions. From now on, I will record gender/sex as male/female child(ren)/student(s)/adult(s).

It turns out the missing metadata had just been misplaced. I will combine the metadata to maximize detail in 'Description' and 'Key terms.'

Professor Dobkins noticed some remarkable details in CH 1582. Two Alaska Native women wear ornate parkas in the snow. On the border of the parka worn by the female on the left are small figures on sleds with dogs, an igloo, and a walrus. The parkas have fur collars and borders.
