I started off the day today by putting new content up on VoiceThread.com. We now have Lesley Benoit, Dorothy and David Brandt all featured on our network. Remember, all you have to do to find our content, edited in the Regional History Department of the Community Library, is type "community library RHD" in the VoiceThread search-bar. Also, note that James 'Sandy' Laidlaw's profile picture has been updated. If you didn't notice it before, you can see it by looking under the microphone bubble that appears beside the slide you are viewing.
As I mentioned before in a blog post, we have an awesome collection of photos. A large portion of those photos were donated to the library by Miriam Breckenridge. Because of the nature of this project, I have begun to go through those photos, editing blemishes and retouching them to breathe new life into forgotten memories. It is very important for me to be meticulous in this process so it definitely takes a while. I got through 6 photos today to give you an idea of how long it could take to get through the hundreds of photos that she has donated. This will be a regional history project for years to come.
As a side note, watch out for shoddy label adhesive when inserting disks into disk drives that do not have a insertion tray. We had a Mac today that would not eject the disk from the computer because the label kept catching on the edge of the disk drive. Luckily, our local tech-therapist helped us out of the sketchy situation in a very timely manner. Thanks a lot Paul!
Keep an eye out on VoiceThread.com tomorrow afternoon because I will be submitting some humorous anecdotes by Joe Burgy!
