# Establish correct ID#, mark all objects, and verify Omeka entries (Museum Director will do this in advance)
# '''Update Omeka'''
## Description: ensure description is complete and thorough
## Fill in any relevant fields (date, format, etc.)
## Add storage location (e.g., "archive: Peach Festival storage box")
## Add text, if needed or possible (use OCR scan or manual transcription)
## Ensure item record is in the correct Item Sets and Collections
# '''Add photographs or scans'''
## Scans are only necessary when highest quality is important — typically for original photographs. Most documents can be photographed, even with a camera; follow photography guidelines.
## Attach photos/scans to the Omeka item record.
# '''File'''
## File items in the order found in the binder (talk to the director if you think something is out of order and should be moved)
## Multiple items may go in a single folder, but keep folders relatively slim; don't overstuff.
## Place acid-free tissue between sheets that are acidic or discoloring, particularly newsprint.
## Label folders with a pencil on their tabs. Typically, use ID numbers, individually or in a range; if the folder can also be labeled with text in a helpful way, do so.
# '''Make working copies'''
## Make color prints of both sides of each item. For flyers and small brochures, print interior pages as well. For larger/longer documents, ask the Director; we will usually just print the covers, sometimes with key internal pages.
## Label the color prints with the accession ID#, usually very small in the lower outside corner.
## Put the prints in clear sleeves in a 3-ring binder. This may be in accession number order, but might also be in another logical order (e.g., chronological or thematic). Talk to the Director if you're not sure.
## Label the binder clearly. Make sure the contents are clearly connected to the actual archive box and files; typically, the binder label will include the archive box label information.
