This week I completed the metadata spreadsheet for the Ochs Collection. Drawing from my prior knowledge of the collection, along with the donor file for Shelby Ochs Owen, I also created a finding aid and box list for the collection. This will help researchers learn more about the collection and identify what folders they may want to look at. The finding aid will also become part of the collection description in the Omeka elibrary.
Next week, I should begin work on scanning the documents so they can be uploaded online. As I’m now almost halfway through my internship, I would also like to begin fleshing out my plan for the online exhibit I will create for my final project.
