I worked 14.5 hours last week at APS. This week I plan to work 20 hours, which means my hours would be complete in 3 weeks. Thankfully, my projects have been moving forward well, and I feel confident that my major work will be wrapped up before I finish.
On Monday I worked on a presentation I’ll be giving, and completed half of it. The second half will be about the Shreve collection I’m working on. I should be digitizing the collection on Monday, which will help me with the second half of my presentation. I also worked on transcription on Monday. Thursday I only came in for a short time for the all-staff lunch event. I spent time meeting people and socializing. I was planning to stay after the event to work more, but I had to go home and work on a rush report for work that was sent to me. Friday, I worked on transcription in the morning. In the afternoon I worked with Sabrina on the Shreve collection. We rehoused some items and continued updating the spreadsheet inventory. After this, I started working on the metadata. There is still more metadata to do, but it’s all a process I suppose. It’s been a lot of fun though.
This week I’m hoping to spend a lot of time with the Shreve collection to make good head way on that. I also have to finalize my notes for my presentation on the work I’ve been doing with APS.
