I had some confusion with the recipients name on the postcard in Folder 6 (box2folder6photographs0005 & ...0006). My reading is "Ruthynr Turney," but that sounds like a really strange first name. Thoughts? Maybe "Ruthyne"?

Madolyn gave me a very informative introduction to the Atiz, I played around with it for a bit to get the hang of it, but I've got some questions that we should clear up before I proceed with the Folder 1 scrapbook. I'll plan to discuss in detail with Sara on the Wednesday after break; here are some notes just so that I don't forget what I was wondering (feel free to disregard for now): Trouble with EOS Utility software, couldn't communicate with camera. White sheets in between scrapbook pages? Interspersed material that's more appropriate for the OpticBook, bringing it together? Differences in top/bottom alignment between L&R--just a book thickness issue? Text all the way to the centerfold?

The first section of Folder 8, "Indian School," is a record of Chemawa graduating classes from 1885-1949. This section is a page-for-page duplicate of the list of graduating classes found at the end of Box 1 Folder 7, so I omitted it from the scans.

Began with Box 2 Folder 2 because Folder 1 is Larsen's scrapbook and needs to be scanned on the big book scanner, which I'll apparently get introduced to on Friday.

Scanned up to Box 2 Folder 6, many very brief folders. A question on these folders where there's only one document--should I put the date/format/author/recipient-type metadata in the folder field or the item field or both?

To Sara: Could you check the description field on box2folder6photographs0002.tif and see if this looks like the right format for identifying people in a photo? Thanks.

Finished up the Willamette Journal Issue, and then was going to move back to Jason scanning. I realized it was too beautiful of a day not to be outside so switched gears back to the Plaque Hunting, again the majority of what I found today was not on the spreadsheet, and there are a lot I have actually never seen before. I will keep updating as I go along.

Finished Folder 8, and Box 1 with it.

Today Mary told me that after further consideration, I shouldn't try to chronologically rearrange Larsen's original order. Would it be a good idea to leave a note about the order in the folder's description?

"The Chief Chemawa Annual" seems to be some kind of yearly sports report, but each year's report (and even the different pages within a year's report) are all titled slightly differently. What I'm wondering is whether I ought to pick one format with which to title them all in the metadata.

For example: the 1937 'Chief Annual' is three pages and alternately titled, "The Chief Chemawa Annual 1937," "The Chief Annual 1937," and "1937 The Chief Annual." The 1938 one is also three pages: "1938 Annual," "The 1938 Chief Chemawa Annual," and "1938 Chief Annual."

So I could just use the exact name of each page in the metadata like this...
   The Chief Chemawa Annual 1937 - box1folder8athletic0227tif
   The Chief Annual 1937, p. 2          - box1folder8athletic0227.tif
   1937 The Chief Annual, p. 3          - box1folder8athletic0227.tif

But I feel like one name format would be cleaner. Thoughts on this? And if I should use one, which format?

I'm pretty sure that all the "Vol. x No. x" documents are sports articles that Larsen has excerpted from the Chemawa American. Should I label their source format as "newspapers" or "clippings (information artifacts)"?

Today, started a new project from Selicity. It is scanning the Willamette Journal. I was able to scan everything today and they are in the correct location. I hope to readjust a few of the pages that weren't great on Tuesday. Hopefully want to look at this book more, especially the article on the Disappearance of the Waller house? It looked very interesting.

Made progress on Folder 8, might be able to finish scanning on Friday.

Mary let me know that rearranging out of order "Vol. x No. x" files is fine and I should pursue it, which I'll begin after I finish scanning the folder.

Interestingly I found a second "Vol. 17 No. 6"--the first is "Vol. 17 No. 6, March 1915" (box1folder8athletic0106), the second one I just found is "Vol. 17 No. 6, March 1914" (box1folder8athletic0180.tif), both unique and describing separate events. Maybe a typo on Larsen's part?

Today I was able to finish scanning the 1985 Jason edition, with minimal damage! Granted the process is a bit slower but it was good not to see pages falling out! Will get these OCRed and finished up on Thursday and move onto the next volume.

Found two duplicate pages in Folder 8 (Vol. X No. 46, May 8, 1908 and Vol. 11 No. 35, Feb. 19, 1909), omitted both from the scans.

Also found that a number of of the pages are arranged out of order (chronologically at least) but I haven't altered the order, as advised.

Overall made good progress on Folder 8, I'm just about halfway through at this point. Generally pretty uneventful stuff here, but the one article on the "Chemawa Bears" was pretty funny (Vol. IX No. 11, Jun. 1, 1906 - box1folder8athletic0075.tif).

Normally I would be in the office today,  but am out for family reasons. So yesterday I came in and was able to fix the 1984 .tifs, scan most of the 1985 edition of Jason and get those scans OCRed. Next week, hopefully I will be given more luck in handling the Jason issues.

Mary figured out the cursive name in question--"Umatata"--updated metadata with the correct name.

Made a dent in Folder 8 but there are still quite a lot of athletic records to go.

Had to work backwards today, to go back to the 1984 Jason and get Tifs for them. I was able to get all of them, and then download. Through all of these transfers the page numbers got all mixed up. We know have the tifs, but in the complete wrong order, and currently working on trying to fix it. Hopefully we will be back to where we were on Thursday.

Finished Folders 6 & 7, made headway into Folder 8.

Regarding the graduating class documents at the end of 7--is it alright to have two "cont."s in a row? i.e.:
        Graduates - Chemawa Indian School, c/o 1933     -      box1folder7history0088.tif
        Graduates - Chemawa Indian School, c/o 1933 cont. - box1folder7history0089.tif
        Graduates - Chemawa Indian School, c/o 1933 cont. - box1folder7history0090.tif
Or should I come up with something to distinguish the third?

Is "administrative records" appropriate in terms of source format for the athletic records in Folder 8?
