Journal entry

Week 9 – for several weeks now,  we had been having meetings with fridge organizers. I installed Omeka Classic on Reclaim, the third install and the last, and the smoothest! At this point, I was very familiar with Omeka in general and plugins, so everything went smoothly. Because we no longer had the server issues, plugins also worked without any problems. Reclaim was also very responsive (thank you GC!! and thank you Reclaim!) and helpful with any questions I had during configuration/ in case of backend questions. The internet also was my friend while figuring things out 🙂

We also had meetings deciding how we would use Dublincore metadata for our archive.  While this may seem like a simple or straightforward task, it certainly was not. It took a lot of brainstorming and thinking through – yet was also enjoyable (for me, at least). Thus we refined the metadata part -what we more broadly defined in our data management plan.
