Today I finished up Folder 2, got through all of Folder 3, and made headway on Folder 4.

Where the only date information available is the month and year, I've entered the DPLA date as XX/XXXX (see "Indians are Citizens, Not Wards" box1folder2histdocs0044.tif-0046.tif).

1) Is this correct?

2) Google Sheets does this odd thing where when you only enter month and year, it automatically assumes the 1st of the month (double click the DPLA field on the scan mentioned above and you'll see). Will this be an issue?

The transcribed speech by former Chemawa student William Frazier (box1folder2histdocs0047.tif) doesn't really have a page title--I titled the page "William Frazier at Covelo, CA Indepedence Day celebration," is this suitable?

In Folder 2 I've used "clippings (information artifacts)" in the source format field pretty generously. @Sara, have I used it anywhere that you think it doesn't really apply?

The poem "Chief Joseph" (box1folder2histdocs0049.tif) afforded me a better understanding of the OIA "memo" (box1folder2histdocs0023.tif)--learned that what is referred to as "the Victory Ship, Chief Joseph" was a ship christened in the name of the late Modoc chief, and its full name was "The Spirit of Chief Joseph." Updated the description field of the memo to reflect this info.

Folder 3, "Indian Legends of the Pacific Northwest" is compiled by Charles E. Larsen--should I list him as the author in the metadata?

I couldn't find a date associated with this compilation.

Updated collection titles on every folder from "Larson" to Larsen.

Since everything thus far (with the exception of Folder 4) has been "text" in the "type" field, is it kosher to keep on only entering a "type" for the first row that describes the entire folder, or should I be entering "text" on every line?

How should I go about giving page titles to letters? I've used this format so far:

"John Collier to Members of the Indian Service, Tribal Councils, and other Indian Leadership, and Friends of the Indians' Cause"

"Franklin D. Roosevelt to John Collier"

Is that alright?

Also, how am I doing with the "# of pages" metadata? In Folders 2 and 4 I've given each cluster of related scans a  # -- using "1" if it's a standalone.  With Folders like 1 and 3, where every page has been related, I've left the "# of pages" field blank except for the first row describing the whole folder.

Is this correct?
