Weeks 6-7

IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS TAKEN FOREVER, BUT THE INSTITUTIONAL PHOTOS ARE COMPLETED!!!!!!! It has been a long journey but those 2,000+ photographs have all been logged into Omeka! I didn’t exactly experience any major hiccups, with the exception of about 20 or so photos not being scanned into Omeka, so in all honesty it wasn’t a particularly hard job. I did really enjoy the photographs I found in the institutional photos. I felt like it ranged anywhere from the Dedication of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace, to the many upon many curators and board members, to possibly every single angle and event that happened with the Pierce Arrow. One thing I found the most interesting was that the Institutional’s basically showed the history of every object in the museum and the manse over time, to the point where we started to get into color photography and Kodachrome.

Now, I am on to my next mission. Conquering the Condon and Cox collection. Wish me luck.
