Editing Archiving: Newspapers.com (section)

=== Saving stories to archive ===
The Museum keeps a Newspapers.com account for Museum Library research use. Key articles should be saved, downloaded, and added to relevant Omeka entries. These instructions explain how to do that. There are a few different ways to do this in Newspapers.com, but please follow this process:

* Log in to Newspapers.com with the Museum account. If you do not know the login credentials, ask the director.
* When you find an article worth keeping (see the tips below), go to the Clip button in the top right toolbar.
* A box will appear over the page. Drag the box over your story; drag the corners to adjust its size.
* Take care to get as "clean" of a selection as possible; make sure the article is completely selected with none cut off, while eliminating all side columns or those above/below. Ideally, your selection will contain the entirety of the story with nothing else visible.
** Many old newspapers would vertical lines between columns and use a horizontal line or other visual indicator between stories to indicate where they start and stop. Include these in your selection if they exist: they provide context of start and finish.
* Do NOT add a title or anything else here; click Save in the right sidebar. The clipping is now saved to the Museum account. At this screen, follow the next steps to download the story and add it to Omeka.
