Instructions

 * Go to “File,” “Open Project,” and select “Mississippi Enumeration of Educable Children, 1850-1892, 1908-1957 - DB” from the list on the Waypointing Wiki page from the drop-down menu, then click “OK.”


 * Locate and mark any camera operator, focus images or title boards as “Administrative.”


 * The Consolidated Form for this project has two fields:


 * 1) County – This item can be found in the notes field. Also, most batches will have images of folders separating the years. These folders have the county written on them.
 * 2) Year – The year is recorded on the folders mentioned above. The notes will list the years contained in each batch.


 * Once the consolidated form is complete, highlight the item it applies to and click “New.”


 * Repeat this process until all items have been Waypointed with their own Consolidated Form.


 * 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.


 * When you have finished your first folder, please send an email to Heather or Travis, so they can audit your work and give feedback on any issues they find.

Helpful Tips
Occasionally the information on the film notes will not match the images that are on the film. If this is the case, please use the information from the images, not the film notes. If you have any questions regarding this project please contact the project owner or one of the alternate contacts.
