Instructions

 * 1) Go to “File,” “Open Project,” and select “Italy, Napoli City Archives Part 1” from the drop-down menu, and select the first Publishable Unit, then click “OK.”
 * 2) The Consolidated Form for this project has the following fields:
 * 3) The GS Number and Provincia fields will always be filled automatically. If you find a folder from a province other than Napoli, please call the Project Owner. You can get the “Comune o frazione” and “Registro / Serie” fields from one of two locations. First, the Notes window will contain the Comune or Frazione field in the “Authors” or “Subjects” line. The Registro / Serie is in the “Film Notes” line.
 * 4) Most waypoints will only contain one year, which means your beginning and ending year fields will be the same.
 * 5) The “Numero dell’unita’ archivistica (busta o registro)” field is found on the book cover, written in pencil. In this project, you will not see an archival number on most covers. It is alright to leave this field blank.
 * 6) Once the consolidated form is complete, highlight the book it applies to and click “New.” A completed Consolidated Form should look like this:
 * 7) Repeat this process until all books have been Waypointed with their own Consolidated Form. Most folders will have only one or two waypoints.
 * 8) When you are confident that all waypoints are correct, click “Finish.” A new folder should load, or you can start with step 1 of these instructions to open a new folder.
 * 9) When you have finished your first folder, please send an email to Travis or Caleb, so they can audit your work and give feedback on any issues they find.

Helpful Tips

 * Most of the time, you will have one book of records per year. If there are multiple books of the same record type for the same years, you can waypoint them together. For example, if there are two books of “Matrimoni” for 1815, one of which covers images 1-25, and the second 26-50, your waypoint range would be 1-50.
 * Some covers will not have a year written on them, and you will have to look for it in the actual record. Most records will have the year written out, rather than in number form. Use the following guide when translating Italian numbers:
