=== Adding a saved story to Omeka ===

* With the clipped story saved and open on the screen, click on the Print/Download button in the top right corner.
* Click the "Save as JPG" button. (Note: we do not use the "Save as PDF" function because it downloads a very small, low-resolution copy of the clip embedded in a much larger page of white space. The JPG will download in the highest resolution available.)
* The file will download to the computer you are working on, probably in a Downloads folder.
* In Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (PC), find the file. You will see that it is automatically given a file name that includes the newspaper, date, and page; this is critical source information and should be kept. However, it is helpful if you edit the file name:
** Keep the original name at the beginning
** After the original name, add a hyphen, then...
** ...add a few words that describe the subject of the story.
** For example, this story saved with the name "''The_Greenville_News_1900_06_24_Page_1.jpg''." Edit it to be "''The_Greenville_News_1900_06_24_Page_1 - Isham Mayfield appointed postmaster.jpg''."
* Now go to Omeka, find the related record (e.g., the entry for Isham Mayfield), and open the record for editing.
* Click on the Media tab at the top.
* In the right "Add Media" column, click on Upload.
* An upload entry will appear in the middle. In the Title field, provide the same subject line (e.g., "Isham Mayfield Appointed Postmaster").
* Click "Choose File." Select your file, and click Open.
* Click "Save."
