So as usual I am a bit behind in getting this up, but in my defense, I work and have class pretty much all of Thursday and Friday so it is usually damn near impossible for me to get this in by Friday night, so Saturday is going to have to suffice unless I get my schedule changed for work.

Now onto the point.

So today I have been uploading some of the pictures to my Omeka site. The first one I did in class was Adam Meyer’s medical examination sheet and I had a pretty difficult time with that, mostly because the class  moves faster than my computer. But I got it, and later when I was able to really look at the website I figured it out most of the parts I was unsure about before. Today I uploaded two more pages, one being Meyer’s initial declaration for invalid pension and the other the four images that make up his muster rolls.

The first one was the Declaration of Invalid Pension and It took me a few minutes to figure out what I needed to do again after a few days but it didn’t take long. Typing in all the metadata is tedious but not difficult in the least.

The second was the Muster roll images, where I decided to put multiple images on the one page (not sure if I was supposed to do that or not, but it made the most sense given that they’re the same things) but it took ever so sightly longer to do just because I needed to add a date range and a variety of image names in the identifier section in the metadata.

Overall it was pretty simple and I plan to try and upload all of the images today so that is less that I have to work on later.
