Week 11, Part 3: Not Quite The End Yet

I was intending on today being my last day, but I have a few more hours to complete.  Due to Veteran’s day next week, I’ll finish up my hours next Friday, the 13th.

Today I uploaded many of the items that I had photographed and described on Wednesday. I spent last week (Week 10) photographing and describing by hand, then uploading the items and I found that I liked that method.  Whether I just needed a change or whether it actually was a quicker process, I certainly felt like I was being much more effective. 

I decided that I would photograph and describe one more artifact.  It was a Commemorative Rifle given to Byrd from the mayor of Philadelphia.  Though there is not a date located on the item (which is surprising, considering it has a plaque), it can be assumed that it was around 1926, since it refers to Byrd’s flight over the North Pole.

Overall, today was a short shift, but I got a decent amount done.  The gun took a long time to photograph due to its size and fragility. 

In: 1:30 p.m.
Out: 5 p.m.
On-site hours completed today: 3.5
On-site hours completed total: 97.75
On-site hours left: 2.25
