Guidelines for Creation of Content

In entering the date for each photograph, we will follow ISO 8601. The date will be formatted yyy-mm-dd. In order to find the proper digitization date for each image:

• In "Items," click on the thumbnail of the photograph in question.
• Along the right-hand side of the screen, you will see some technical metadata. Scroll down until you see the "File Derivatives" list.
• Click on "original."
• Right-click and click "Save Image As" and save it to your computer.
• If you're on a Mac, select the photograph when you're in a column view in Finder and you will see a thumbnail and metadata. "Content created" date is the date of digitization, and that is the date to put in "date digitized" in Omeka.
