I prefer to work with image files in .jpg or .png formats, and if they are more than 100 kb, it's nice if they're 'optimized' to reduce the file size.
PDF documents are acceptable, but I usually end up converting them to images.
If the clipping is from a page that has the newspaper's name,
page number and date reasonably close to the clipping, please include
them in the image. I may edit the image a bit to remove unnecessary
information, but these details on the clipping provide confirmation of
the details contained in the file name (it's easy to make a mistake when
naming a file).
If it's not practical to include the tombstone data, it would be nice if you would add it to the image as I have done here:
A standardized file naming system for clipping it easier for me to
manage and locate them when needed. I generally use file names based on
YYYYMMDD-PaperName,Place,page.jpg,
- for instance:
- 19241216-DailyStar,QueensBorough,p4.jpg
- 18980104-EveningStar,WashingtonDC,p2.jpg
If the city name is an essential part of the paper's title, it doesn't need to be repeated in the file name, so a clipping from the Cleveland Plain Dealer can be named
19350317-ClevelandPlainDealer,p12.png
instead of
19350317-ClevelandPlainDealer,Cleveland,Oh,p12.png
Some caution is needed because many place names are used in more than one jurisdiction, examples being
|
While it may seem obvious that a newspaper is from a particular city, it isn't always so. There were at least three newspapers named Plaindealer or Plain Dealer. Other very common newspaper names include Advocate, Courier, Examiner, Gazette, Herald, Journal, News, Record, Reporter, Telegraph, Times, etc.
I receive many email messages each day, so please make sure the subject line of your message starts with TDWAW.
