Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 150 I wanted to finish up all my scans before I was done. I got A11-A13 all sorted, and then renumbered them all. The last row included births for 1915-1926 with a couple cards for 1914 and 1940. This one will be very useful for researchers. These rolls also had all of the Baseball and Basketball… More →

Day 17 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 127.5 Baseball is the name of the game this week, but first, there was renumbering. I renumbered rolls A2, A5, A6, and A7 so that all files had a distinct sequential number from folder to folder on the roll. Then I transferred them onto the drive Aaron was uploading from, so he could get those online,… More →
Day 16 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 120 I finished sorting A5. Then Aaron told me A1 was done, so I gave A3 and A4 because I still need to renumber A2. And started scanning A7. I fought with the scanning program quite a long time today, until I finally got it going smoothly in the afternoon. Finished it up by 2. I… More →

Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 112.5 I started this week fixing the folders for Roll A2 so that they fewer files and are more browsable.

Day 14 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 105 A3 scans look good, so I got A4 started, it was a bit blurry at the beginning, but eventually, I got it sorted out. While it was scanning, I started sorting A3, noting a couple pages that needed rescanning, along the way. I was a bit more conscious of making the folders small enough to… More →
Day 13 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 97.5 I started my day sorting the first roll of hand-written cards (A1), and scanning the second roll(A2) onto a different drive. Took me a while to get the scanner calibrated just right, but not nearly as long as the first time. Once I had the A1 roll sorted, I renamed the files sequentially on a different… More →
Day 12 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 90 Yesterday, watching the scrolling scan out of the corner of my eye made me very motion-sick, so today, I set up the folder it is scanning into to sort in reverse order, so that each new scan shows in the first slot, then I squeeze the folder window to the side of the screen, so… More →
