Another Black Album Day

Today I continued labeling all of the uncataloged photos in my second black album. The labeling is a long and tedious process, which took all day until 3PM. I ended up labeling 502 photos in this album that had not yet been cataloged. When I finished labeling the photos, I began the catalog record in Microsoft Word, just as I did on the last black album. I was pleased to get through about one quarter of the album, and am hopeful that I will complete the catalog record by the end of the day tomorrow.

Here is a sample of what the catalog record looks like in Word. The photo IDs are other numbers used by others (usually the photographer's own cataloging system). As you will see, completing one of these entries for each of 191 pages is also a very long and tedious process. The point of these records is to make these photographs searchable by subject in ANCS+.
