Week 3: Blog

This week we met in the special collections room on the sixth floor of the library to add scrap book pages to Omeka. We looked at material used by former students that went to West Chester University way back in the 1940’s. My folder contained two items both owned by the same person. The first page had a Tennis clinic schedule on it that was used by a student back in 1949. The page contained dates, times, and locations of different tennis matches that were taking place. The second page was a foldable piece paper that was titled the “All Star Program”. The page contained performances and times that they would be performed with the names of the performers as well. I used these scrapbook pages and scanned them and entered them into Omeka. I then had to fill out the description of each item. They were boxes that needed to be filled stating the author, owner, date, format, etc. of the scrapbook items. Everyone submitted them and are in a virtual collection on Omeka.
