Tagging and reorganizing the first group of journals took less time than expected, so Tim and I decided to then tackle the jumble of journals in another part of the Archives Room, the real “problem area.” Those journals, and some oversize books, were in a total disarray, and many were just stacked in random piles. (I wish that we had thought to take a “before” photograph of these sections!)
After reorganizing the journals, we were then able to move on to the books, adding paper tags to each one.
After reorganizing the journals and books, we also inventoried every one of these items and updated the location information in ICMS, the NPS database for museum collections. Finally, we labeled the shelves.
We are quite proud of the way the Archives Room turned out and are a bit amazed with the amount of reorganization we were able to accomplish.
