We’re Live!
We are happy to announce that our Omeka archive is finally online. This means that not only we have a structure (and a map!), but we’re actually ready to accept contributions from the public in the form of text, photos, and audio.
This is what we are working on this week:
- Data entry on Omeka: we discovered that Omeka had trouble ingesting our CSV file with the fridge data, so we have to manually create all the collections and the “fridge items”, which correspond to the “physical object” of a certain fridge.
- Outreach: we need to send emails to fridge organizers to let them know that now they can contribute to the archive.
- Budget: this week we’ll make our final decision on how to spend the 200$ budget and send the proposal to Bret.
- Social Media: we’ll finalize some targeted posts (for example, on “specialty fridges”) and schedule them for the next few weeks.
- Research: we’ll check the fridges lists to see if there are any new fridges we need to add to the archive
- Tutorial: we’ll be recording a tutorial to explain how to contribute to the archive. We’ll send this tutorial to our fridge collaborators and share it on social media.
