Scanned and entered metadata for all of Box 2 Folder 12.

Began entering metadata for Box 2 Folder 13--yes, that Arizona superintendent's name really is "Jno B. Brown," no typo.

YAY!!! The Barnes Journal Project is done! Full size and reduced size PDFs have been created. The hiccups with this made me realize that the next project is re-figuring out the ATIZ scanner and more importantly the Bookdrive Program. I spoke to Bill and Mary about the disordering and am still puzzled will be doing test scans on Tuesday.

Entered metadata for almost all of Box 2 Folder 12. On Friday I'll scan it and start on Folder 13.

After dealing with some initial hiccups on the ATIZ, working with Sara we were back on track working on the Barnes project. In the beginning chaos completely missed setting the correct DPI, so had to back track a bit and get the correct scans. The scans are exporting and will be ready to be touched up and put into a .pdf on Thursday.

It took some time to rename all the files, but I got all the scrapbook inserts that I scanned on the Plustek integrated into the larger batch that I scanned on the Atiz, which makes Box 2 Folder 1 finally complete.

Scanned all of Box 2 Folder 11. There are a couple of Silas Moon's letters of recommendation that I'm struggling to make out the signature on: box2folder11moon0024.tif (W.P. Gamflieep?); box2folder11moon0039.tif (M.C. Murphy?); and box2folder11moon0038.tif (no clue). Any ideas? There are currently question marks on each one's page title and author field in the metadata.

Entered metadata for a portion of Box 2 Folder 12.

Bit of a slow day today-- was working on converting the Atiz scanned scrapbook files from .JPG to .TIF, which was slower than anticipated because I had to do a good bit of sorting, renaming, and recovering accidentally deleted files.

Finished just in time so I haven't really had the time to look them over, but as far as I can tell everything is properly converted/cropped/de-skewed. Started a transfer to the Z: drive at 12:00. so it should be uploaded to Box2Folder1 in a few minutes if you want to take a look.

Scanned the whole scrapbook (Box 2 Folder 1) on the Atiz, but had trouble exporting/converting the files to .tiff. I'm stuck with a bunch of .jpg's, and I'm not sure how to convert them. I copied them to a folder on the Z: drive called "JPGs to convert" in LarsenCollection-Spring2019.

Entered metadata for all of Box 2 Folder 11 and made progress on scanning it. I had some confusion on cursive names, but not on any files that I've scanned yet. I'll ask for some corroboration on Wednesday once they're scanned.

After this weeks hiccups with the ATIZ things finally calmed back down and I was able to use it to get the Jason II 1985 at 300 dpi for their tifs. Will continue moving forward with this on Tuesday.

Cleared up some things about the Atiz with Sara and began getting it set up and trying to scan, but was held up by further technical difficulties which Sara is looking into now.

Began working on scanning the loose items in the scrapbook on the Plustek book scanner, noting their location in the scrapbook pages in the description field.

Scanned and entered metadata for Box 2 Folder 9, Box 2 Folder 10. Entered some metadata for Box 2 Folder 11.

Skipped over Larsen's "History of Chemawa" in Folder 10 because it's an exact copy of the "History of Chemawa" that can be found in Box 1 Folder 7.

Also skipped over "Land Purchased by Chemawa Indian School" in Folder 10, because duplicates of this one can be found in Box 1 Folder 7 as well.

When I have a document that is almost certainly written by Charles E. Larsen, but doesn't specify the author (box2folder7history0002 for example), should I just put Charles in the author field, or is there a way I can indicate the likeliness but uncertainty in the metadata?

Found "Ruthyne/Ruthynr" Turney's name typed out on one of the Box 2 Folder 10 documents (box2folder10history0046.tif)--it's just Ruthyn Turney. Adjusted metadata in Box 2 Folder 6 to reflect this discovery.

This week was a little different. Fixed the 1984 Jason .tifs to 600 dpi, but at that high resolution and doing over a hundred .jpgs, it crashed on me and stopped responding. I was able to go back and convert all of them to .tifs. Then, I was in correspondence with Doreen, to work on some scans for one of her classes. I was certain I had scanned them before and I was right! So had to do some digging and found the file in Archive-Sans, in the folder Hatfield Related Items. I fixed up the scans and they should be ready for Doreen next time I come in. Other than that fairly normal week.

Adjusted the metadata on those short folders (B2F3-B2F7) so it's only in the folder field, not in the document fields themselves as requested.

Scanned all of Box 2 Folder 8, entered metadata for all of Box 2 Folder 9 and got a start on scanning.
