How to industry sign banking montana ppt later
[Applause] as Kirby said I am the director of the Montana Memory Project and I work for the Montana State Library and I run this project as part of my let's see if I can adjust that any better I'll try to project a little more to let's talk about that I run this project full-time this is kind of my baby I get to work on this full-time and I have currently no employees so if you have any questions I am the go-to person on this project so it's been a lot of fun I've been with the project now for just over three years and I'm gonna tell you some more details but I want to first see in this room how many of you have been to the Montana Memory Project website and have used it I know you - out of it a few of the employees here just have circles to say about a lot of you have it tell she'll show me hands who hasn't who's not familiar oh that's even better okay that helps me a lot so the Montana Memory Project was a pilot project of the State Library we wanted to see if we can make an online library of sorts of materials that were not easily accessible in other words you had to know which museum or library or archive that material lived in and then go in request to see that item instead we made them digitally available on our website we help libraries digitize that material and then surface it on our web page so you can search it and find that content without having to know which library archive or museum to go talk to and for them to pull it out of storage because typically these items are not on display we partnered then with the Historical Society who became our financial partners they helped us play paid for the platform that makes this website possible and they split that cost with us evenly financially so we're very grateful to them for helping make this platform available the website itself is put together on a platform called content DM which I won't go into a lot of detail about but it is designed just for these types of displays of collections of content when we were designing the site originally it was just a long list so if you were in the collection early on the website has transformed quite a few times in the last few years it was just a list of the collections and at one time three four years ago we had about 30 collections now we have a hundred and five published collections and so the list was a little unwieldly so we decided to change the format of the page so that maybe you could find a little more easily what you were looking for my plan today is to take you on a tour of the web page show you some highlights of some of the collections and show you how to search the content here and please if you have questions along the way let me know I'm going to start by pointing out the top area here this is our search box and you come to our page you can search just the Montana Memory Project and that's the first item here but if you wanted to search one of these other digital libraries Mountain West digital library which is a Regional Library for the Mountain West includes Nevada Arizona Utah several states in the West or the digital Public Library of America which is a large public library online it has over I was just looking at it today it's just under 15 million records that you can search on the digital Public Library of America website so it's massive and it's contributed but to by people from Smithsonian the Nara the hottie trust we have a lot of big organizations that contribute interesting historical content to those bigger repositories Montana Memory Project also has our content fed to the DPLA so you can search Montana Memory Project content in the DPLA website you can search chronicling America the newspapers or the Montana newspapers collections to which the Historical Society has now taken over running digital newspapers and so there's two sites that you can look for Montana newspaper content anything prior to copyright 1923 and back would be found on chronicling America whereas more recent newspapers can be found on Montana newspapers and then women's history matters blog which is not quite gone yet but is going away is that correct there it's still out there but it's not new no no new blog posts for this firm seeable future this search box though takes up some real estate on the page and so there is this little tiny carrot here I can get my mouse to work that you can click to hide those other search options and gives you a little more front page real estate so if you're that thing annoys you just get it out of your way okay I do have some information here about project funding you can see it was open through November 30th I've intentionally left this here because we have a little funding leftover this year I hope to reopen this window we help pay for digitization of materials for museums and libraries across the state and they have to turn in an application a grant application I go through that application with someone from here at the Historical Society and we approve those and then help them pay to get content digitized or a vendor or somebody that they work closely with so I've left that up here intentionally as a placeholder because I think we have some funding left we didn't quite give it all away this November the box is down here in the center of the page you'll see that there are featured collections these are the most recently added new collections not new content to an existing collection but brand new collections so you could see Montana's african-american heritage places is from the State Historical Preservation Office these are the documents that said who owned which properties with that throughout the state and they're very interesting to look at the Kalispel water department reports sound like a terribly boring set of documents so almost a misleading title the water department actually wrote about every business in the community and it was like a little booklet about what was going on on in the town of Kalispell and they spread over a wide array of years and they give a great deal of information if you're interested in in researching the Kalispel area they're a good resource especially for the businesses and then kind of serendipitously at the same time the museum at Central School decided to contribute some photographs of Kalispell area and the DeMars ville area that's a very small collection right now because this was their first trial run and they wanted to make sure they could handle it and manage the workflow that went into it I'm hoping that they'll add more content in your future but there's about 31 picture in that collection right now some great photos of downtown Kalispell there's information about how to add a collection of the MMP and I'm going to scroll down here to these next two boxes there's also more information about the MMP including a copy of the brochure our full mission statement and our frequently asked questions on the right-hand side here you're seeing the Facebook feed if you don't follow us on Facebook but you are a Facebook user search for us we post a new image every single day and we try to focus on a theme for a month this month is related to ice so we have a picture of the morrison caves not real ice but slug Mike says to like tights which look like ice a glacier there's a wide array of content you see that this was an outlet on Flathead Lake had jammed up as well as the beautiful Margaret hotel in Bonner which no longer exists was torn down in 1957 but amazing icicles hanging off of this building so we thought January was an appropriate time for ice photos but please follow us like our page and you'll get our daily post on your page if you're interested in that on the left-hand side then is the breakdown of our categories in hopes of helping you find the content you're after and you can see we've broken it down into artwork audio photographs print materials those are the top pages there for example if I click into artwork you'll see a list of our artwork collections and I'm going to scroll down the page here these are either art worker art related Charles Russell we don't actually have a lot of his artwork except that in this research materials from the James beer incan collection he doodled on a lot of the materials that were contributed here and I felt like it also belonged in the artwork collection I have AMC and MSU B posters which are mostly student created from the eastern Montana college or MSU Billings as it is now known the James will collection from the Yellowstone Art Museum and the John J powers safety posters if you have ever toured the world mining museum in Butte these posters some of them still hang on the in the caverns there in the mining mining ways so very interesting safety posters similarly we have audio collections these range from oral histories to some radio interviews a very interesting collection and this is a growing area I have two new collections being worked on right now one is the Jim mogera Oral History Collection from Hatter Jim Agera was a high school English teacher I believe who did had his students go out and conduct oral histories and they're going through and selecting some of the best as you can imagine there's some student um work that isn't the greatest but and also some of the same individuals in the community were interviewed multiple times over the years the other one is a brand new collection from Huntley project Trudy Biggers has been working away with the museum there on the history of the original settlers of that community and she's been interviewing the children and grandchildren of the original homesteaders and that's been very very interesting and that will be live here soon under photographs you'll see there is a carrot and there's also one under print materials that's mean there's a drop-down menu underneath both of these that will expand and give you a list of some subcategories under photographs our photographic collections now have grown to be quite large and so we've tried to break them into categories that might help you find what you're looking for but you'll notice that the very top is all and if I click on all I can get into every photographic collection and we have a lot wide array these range in size tremendously the archival photographs from U of M for example has over 6,000 photographs in it okay on the flip side the Armstead collection has 47 photographs in it Armstead if you're not familiar is a community that was south of Dillon that is now underwater the buildings were removed and the area became the Clark Canyon Reservoir so it's a town that no longer exists but there were quite a few photos of it before the town became a reservoir if I click on any of these it opens the full collection I'm going to jump into this giant one just to give you an idea what this looks like and I'm gonna have to scroll across it's not showing my whole screen so 6809 results they've recently added some more pictures the last time I looked it was 6500 so they've added about 300 more photographs from their collection you could see that these are numbered 1 through 69 on the pages there are 100 images displayed in thumbnail here on this page and each page has another hundred when you click into one of these and I'm going to scroll down to my favorite image this is the 1/16 South Higgins Avenue business which I had to google search because I was curious as to what was on 1/6 what's there now at 1/16 South Higgins it's actually a bank parking lot right directly across the street from the Wilma Theatre if you're familiar with Missoula at all so you could see that this was the CS Newton carpenter and builder building they did paper hanging and house painting so kind of interesting and I would say that the EM is probably right behind the house here if you are looking at and the Clark Fork River would be right down here ok give you some perspective there so if I scroll down below this picture I get more information I get a little description I find out who the crater is if the creator is known and often times with photographs we aren't sure who took it but we try to capture that if we know we also then give a rights management statement and tell you who contributed this content in the case of the University of Montana Mansfield library as well as the Historical Society and several other museums across the state if you're allowed to order reproductions that order information is also in this information at the bottom of the page so if there's a picture here you particularly like check to see if you can order your own copy because that is something that a lot of the museums across the state offer questions about navigating to through an image yes sir um for your own personal use you could make a copy of it I will tell you though that if when you go to print this it's going to be very small and pretty grainy it does not print a high quality photo from here and the reason we do that is because a lot of these things do have a copyright attached to them and we have to be very careful about that okay I'm gonna hit the back arrow here I did want to mention this little guy here covers part of the photo when you first log into it and you'll see that there's a blue overlay over the photo here that shows how much of the photo you're actually seeing that's kind of hard to see on the big screen there but this little double arrow and it's not intuitive also I apologize this is one of the parts of the website I wish I could change but I Eve clear you click and drag you can resize that viewing window to see the whole image you also have some tools up here to resize so this image was full-sized when I opened it but I could size it down and it would automatically resize it so I could see the whole image on the screen okay I'm gonna hit the background here so you can see you can scroll through and browse you can also search and in the search box now you'll see that there is a little addition it says search within results so if I only wanted to search the Missoula collection for a name or a person or a location and I knew what that was I could check this box it would only search this collection and I could pursue a search within this collection of photographs what yep whatever you're looking for so if it was let's say Public Library helps if I put a space so I've searched now the archival photographs of University of Montana just for the terms Public Library in all fields and here's the Missoula Public Library I don't know why they oh this probably came from Missoula must be mentioned in the metadata somewhere that they were hauling grain from north country to Glasgow I'm not sure why but there's an image of the Missoula public library right there so in that collection we didn't find a lot but the Missoula public library has also contributed content and their photographs are here since we didn't search anything beyond the archival photographs of U of M this is all we came up with I'm going to scoot across to print materials because again this one has a drop-down menu you can break this down into the types of content books documents maps newspapers and periodicals or yearbooks so we have quite a few different items here I'm going to skip down to newspapers and periodicals because I want to discuss the change that has recently happened we used to display full collections of newspapers including things like the beaver head County Montana newspapers the big timber pioneer shock Oosten news the problem is they became very unwieldy for this platform they did not display newspapers as well and they made it very difficult to search they kind of overwhelmed every term you searched for example if I put in the term grizzly bear I came back with over 3,000 results about five four images the rest for newspaper hits because they were mentioned in the Teton account many times they're on the Rocky Mountain Front where we have still a lot of grizzly bear activity so we decided it was better for the newspapers to move to a new home so you can still access these papers from our page for example if I click into the big timber pioneer they are now broken out by the year in which the newspaper was presented and it's specific title and this will check try it to the new Montana newspapers web page so that'll link you out but I wanted to make sure that everybody understood the newspapers actu
lly now have a new home if you look into books again we've broken them into some further categories or you can search all books and then documents which is our largest set of collections we have several different categories or you can search all I'm going to jump into all just to give you and again the newspapers and yearbooks come into this your books have been a growing area people really like them for genealogy research and so and it's something that the schools have been offered a free way to digitize that content and then we're happy to make it available on the MMP so that it's searchable and so it's been a really good arrangement and that's been definitely a booming area we have a lot of communities that have had their yearbooks digitized been working with the librarian and Malte if you remember about 10-12 years ago their high school burned to the ground and the high school lost all their copies of the yearbook neither the public library or the school library has gotten a full collection back but what they have gotten back they've had digitized and plan to make available because so many people came to the school to find that content so they're they're planning on doing that and I think it's a great way to offer access to those materials that may not be available anywhere else scroll through here Boone and Crockett Club records these are from not just Montana but firm anywhere the Boone and Crockett rocket club met very fascinating collection of all their minutes and since Theodore Roosevelt was a member that's also very interesting and it gets a lot I mentioned they owned land in Montana which is why the connection to here scroll down here a little more the diaries letters and Ledger's from the University of Montana and there is another letters journals and Diaries collection from the Historical Society are fascinating because you get great first-hand accounts in those and I want to open one of these I'm going to actually open the Evelyn Cameron Diaries so that you can see what these look like in a digitized format I'm going to open the 1893 diary of Evelyn Cameron and these take a moment to load because it's a lot of material that you're loading on the page so you can see I actually see the outside pound pages of the book and I'm going to resize this window remember with that handy little tool at the bottom and because it's not showing on my screen this is typically not an issue but on the left-hand side here is the diary with transcripts and there's a little tiny plus sign and if I click on that you can see it brought jump down to a table of contents so to speak okay and if I click on the plus sign in front of January it gives me a page breakdown and the dates that she entered content I'm gonna jump into January 6th and 7th kind of timely for right now and show you how she wrote you actually can see her handwriting as she wrote in the diary for most of us this may be difficult to read right and we can certainly zoom in on this this is not zoomed in all the way so we can zoom in and then we can grab this and position it on the page so that we can read it maybe you could see she gets pretty tight in her handwriting she has some very pretty script but not always the easiest to read so a volunteer from the Terry area actually transcribed every one of these so that we can read and search these so these are a very phenomenal collection and not all of our collections have been transcribed like this I must say I took a lot of time and dedication for someone to do this so we're very fortunate that this particular collection has had this happen and I'm always looking for volunteers who might help other transcribe other materials if anybody happens to be interested it is a it is a daunting task to do so though but you could see she recorded her day-to-day dealings and I showed up blue and it was very mild unlike our weather here at the moment but these are these are fascinating and I love looking at these primary source documents that are handwritten there's a beautiful letter in the Historical Society collection from a woman who lived in Bannack and she explains to her family that she's one of the only married women in Bannack home and she writes a 16 page letter describing her last two years of traveling to Montana and why they ended up in Bannack Montana it's just fascinating so some neat content that keeps scrolling down here the hell on the City Council minutes date back to 1881 we are still working on this collection they just have recently been awarded funding to continue and they'll do another ten year allotment the originals were handwritten and they are not transcribed so you do have to kind of peruse those but I will say the secretaries or they whoever was doing the transcribing of their minutes had beautiful handwriting in these collections and they're actually pretty easy to read the later ones are typed and therefore they're searchable when we have typed content we can run what's called optical character recognition on that typed document and the computer will read that and help us search that content so the more recent volumes are typed and therefore searchable but if you want to know why streets were laid out the way they were in Helena the answer has in those books I Shawn Logan who was the former chief of the fire department here was doing research and he got tired of having to go to the city and ask for permission and be gloved up in white gloves and have the safe unlocked and him taken to a special room and the book spread out so that he could page through those books and do his research and he decided that this was a worthy project and it's been a huge undertaking he's since retired but he is still Manning this project and continuing to make sure these books get digitized and made available to the public so here's those Kalispell water department reports so I was telling you about I do want to open these to kind of give you an idea how interesting these are here's a 1931 issue and I'm gonna scroll over here so you can see the table of contents and jump down to about page 7 just for the heck of it and you'll see that there's the cashiers annual statement operating revenue and I'm going to jump to a much later page because then we get into some of the more interesting Oh too late how about 14 here some of the information about in 1911 mr. Lawrence came to council as an employee of the mountain state's Power Company so you can get an idea of how much content is in here about the people who lived and worked in Kalispell as well as who which companies had established water to their buildings things like that it's all outlined in these in these minutes so they're actually very rich in content if you're doing research scrolling on down they take you to one of my favorite collections really quick I sure did yes the labs like Brad registrations are all here yes thank you for asking this is also from the Historical Society and these are the indexes and the original brand books dating back to 1873 to 1980 and very very useful for genealogy research again not all transcribed a lot of those were handwritten so if you're looking back you kinda have to read through to find the information you're looking for that as they progress they do become handwritten with the hand-drawn and symbols for the brands themselves the Mile City World War two Peggy letters to me is just fascinating the American women volunteer service in mail City decided to write newsletters to every man and woman who served from the Mile City Custer County area and mail them out it was written typed and signed Peggy because the men and women didn't know that Peggy was the American women volunteer service they wrote back to her and these are the newsletters and their responses and they're organized by the person who answered there and then the newsletters themselves so you can read through the newsletters and you can read the responses from the many men and women who wrote back to Peggy and some of these men wrote back four or five six times it was like their connection back to home and the newsletters described current events what was going on in town who had won the latest basketball game at the high school to whatever was happening some of them wanted to know who Peggy was and they were very insistent which Peggy are you and apparently there were a few who lived in town there was even one letter from an unhappy wife saying Peggy stop writing my husband so I think they're fascinating collection and really fun and we've gotten some great response we had one young woman call the library and thank them for publishing though she'd never seen her grandfather's handwriting before and there was a handwritten letter from him so just some really cool stuff um we do have from the Historical Society here the enlistment cards from the spanish-american war both were won in World War two any man or woman who was enlisted or drafted him in the state of Montana can be found in these I found my great-uncle or my uncles and my great-uncle's enlistment cards for World War two and I wasn't looking for them I was looking for my grandfather my grandfather was listed as next of kin on my uncle's card and he was inducted so he was drafted he didn't enlist and he was living in Dallaire Montana at the time and I thought he was still back in Columbus Crosby North Dakota in that area I did not know he had already come to Montana when he became part of World War two Montana state prison records also garner a lot of interest they used to tell a lot of great information especially if you're doing genealogy research again they lift information about how a person looked what special marks they had on their body where they were last employed where they had lived if they have multiple offenses there are multiples attached to the one page and you can learn a lot about a person from their prison record so this has been a great collection too and I think it's one that's still being added I don't think it's complete through 1974 yet it's when the Historical Society has been working on for a while lunch at a woman magazine was added by the Lewis and Clark public library with conjunction with the Montana women's general Federation Women's of women's clubs and this is a fairly new collection but certainly an interesting magazine dating back to 1909 teen 21 1921 I think is the first issue and they were a monthly issue or an semiannual issue depending on the time and who had time to commit to it but they're very very interesting making things about what was going on in the mints groups in the state but as you can see we have a huge number of document collections know and talk to the guy right behind you about that would you please I'd love to see those archived here yeah we do have a maps separate maps area as well we actually only have one map collection it's kind of misleading it is contributed by two institutions Historical Society and the University of Montana have both contributed maps here but these are very very interesting if you want to see dated maps of Montana this is the place to come and I want to jump into this collection because I want to show you the kind of detail you can see from it excuse me from a digitized map and I'm going to jump into this first one this bird's eye view of Deer Lodge City from 1884 this is a hand-drawn map and I find it so interesting because of the amount of detail that was put into the map and what you can see when you zoom in with the zoom tool if I can get it to open sorry about that I'll keep moving my hand just right and not actually clicking on it okay so here you can see we have a bird's-eye view of the city of Deer Lodge but if I start zooming in I'm going to do this slowly so you can see how this changes see how the streets start to come a little more into focus and so to the homes now we could see this is fourth Street not only are we seeing the buildings but we're seeing the outbuildings behind I think on one of these I found a crescent moon I'm not sure if it's on the Deer Lodge map or another one but on one of the outbuildings I found the old crescent moon so I'm just impressed with the detail that are on these maps and what you can see when they've been digitized you would need to see this in person and probably with a microphone glass to really zoom in and see this kind of detail on these so we have some benefits of digitizing content and that we get to really handle the object and look at it more closely where if we were to come here and ask to see this map we might be able to lay it out and look at it but we probably couldn't pick it up and examine it real close and in this instance we can't we can really manipulate this item we can also rotate it so if we wanted to see a particular area rotated to get a better view of it we can rotate these maps in any direction that's a good question anybody in the room no no it doesn't it wasn't in 1884 on the left-hand side here again if you just want to see what collections we have we do still have the list of collections when I took that away originally I have a lot of complaints people said wait I knew how to get there one way so I did put this back in there is an alphabetical list of every collection here under the collections list okay and again there's 105 right now published we're working on a few more so we should be over 110 very soon within the next few months I also have a contributors page so every organization that contributes content has a link here and I'm going to jump into I'll jump into Carroll College for example we have a little information about the institution that contributed the content and a link to their webpage picture of that institution and the list of their collections with links to that I chose this one a purpose because when the newspapers since they have been moved you're actually going to click on Montana newspapers and go to that web page now to search the newspapers but you can see the list of their collections so if I jump I want to point out up here to the URL to get to this page then is Montana Memory org slash contributors slash Jack and Sally current library so you have a stable URL for the contributing institution there that if somebody wants to link to just their community's content they can very simply so by comparison we'll jump down here to the Montana Historical Society Research Center and you can see how many collections are on this page because they are one of our biggest contributors of content and it keeps going so we're very pleased that they are such an amiable partner with us I do have an educational resources page for teachers to use in classrooms with some activities I'm going to jump into the compare/contrast activities just because we had talked about this being one of my favorite images I did post a picture when I googled 116 South Higgins Avenue here's the parking lot I told you about the angle is a little different as you can see but there's the L for the low-low Sacred Heart School and the M would be over here so whoops I didn't mean to jump out of there sorry about that jump back in here if I scroll over there there's the wider view okay [Music] there's writing activities local history activities and I mentioned that we contribute our content to the digital Public Library of America because of that partnership we were able to write what's called a exhibition for the DPLA and we wrote about the boom-and-bust the industries that settled Montana and it goes through the early settlement the mining industry the logging industry farming and ranching and then how many people were displaced as a result of all of those different activities it's a really neat way to look at content and that's linked from here I encourage you though if you have time just to explore the DPLA website as well and again you from this link you can get in there DPLA we are becoming a direct service hub - and I've been partnering with the Montana State University the University of Montana and the Montana Historical Society to create what we're now calling the Big Sky Country digital network so that we can be a direct service hub and provide more services with the DPLA and again remember they have over 14 million records by comparison the Montana Memory Project although were very proud of this goal of t
is mark we have 46 thousand records just over when I first started I think we were around 21,000 records so we've come a long ways we have over seven hundred four thousand pages of content in the Montana Memory Project now so we've grown a lot I've also created some pre-made powerpoints on different topics that are here and if you have an interest or want to research something in particular and create your own PowerPoint you can do that you can save content into a favorites folder it won't be saved if you log off of your computer because there is no membership there's no login or sign in but while you're working you can save items to a favorites folder and then you can export those to a thumb drive or to a PowerPoint presentation and I'll show you real quick how to do that in a moment but I wanted you to know this content is here I also have a collection map that shows where in the state a lot of these collections are from each of these pins represents a place and when you zoom in the map improves this is an ESRI map our GIS Department and when you click on the pin it tells you which collection is here and you can click on a link directly into that so if you wanted to see it on a map representation of where am I 10 of there are collections this is another way to view the content I will say the map is slightly out of date I need to get back in there and work on it but that is there we also have some instructional videos for how to use this webpage just an overview of kind of what we were doing right now if you want a refresher we also have how to search the MMP and we'll be having adding some new content here very soon I have a colleague at the state libraries helping me create some new instructional videos on how to use and search the Montana Memory Project I do want to point out that we have some very great partners we were using Mountain West digital library as our access point to get to the digital Public Library of America before we decided to create our own service hub the DPLA and again you can link to them from right here is a great partner chronicling American newspapers the women's history matters blog of course the Historical Society here the Montana history foundation who also provides grant funding for projects and and getting items digitized and then we are funded through the federal funding at the Institute of Museum and Library Services this is how my proposition is paid for and how the project itself is paid for I do want to talk about advanced search we have certain fields that are required for all of our items so you notice when I scrolled below the picture we were looking at the detailed information a lot of times we want to leave out some of this information when we're searching so for example if I only want to search the title and this isn't and by default I can switch it to or and add another search term and search only not the creator excuse me the description field and I'm gonna switch it one more time to or and I'm going to add one more search term and switch this one to the subject field which is right up here at the top and I'm going to search for something we know a bit about in Montana Cowboys and I'm going to enter that search term in the term field for all three of these notice how I've spelled it the same I've used a capital C that's that is important on this if you change the spelling even slightly it'll change your results down here I can select the type of a material with this show button I can show the types of material so let's say all I want is photographs of cowboys I can search all photographs I can even break it down further if I would like by the categories that were defined on the page I can hide that if I wanted to select just a collection I can hit show and all of the collections are listed here and there's also an alphabetical order jump so I can jump to a collection by title name if I know the name of the collection that I want to search I'm not going to select this collection right now I want to make sure photographs is still checked and I'm going to hit Search this is going to bring back the items that fit my description parameters with a Tut word Cowboys in the title the word Cowboys in the description or there were Cowboys in the subject field and if I scroll down you'll see I have the cowboy band in Missoula the 1914 cowboy band also in Missoula from Polson 1961 sundown along the trail so if I look over here I believe it's in the Cowboys right here in the subject field I find the word cowboy so so it's searching for the word Cowboys in those specific fields to find this content and I point this out because if you're looking for something particular it's good to know how to do an advanced search and narrow your search parameters a little bit if you don't switch that default and to or it's going to narrow it it's going to be Cowboys in the title field and in the subject field and in the description field so we got 291 results here if we'd used and we would have gotten quite a few less okay it can be case sensitive I have found I'm and I say can be because sometimes when it reads from the OCR it isn't but it when it reads just from the the metadata it's or the information that comes with the picture then it can be so I wish I had a better answer it maybe maybe perhaps change the results yes you would get different not necessarily you would get cowboy so yes something as simple as a plural so I recommend that if you're looking for specific material you try a few different searches to see what brings you back the best results um notice that these are checked these are saved in my favorites folder and if you notice right up here I have the word favorites this only shows up once you've conducted a search or opened a collection I can check as many of these as I want and click save to favorites right here at the top of the screen that will save it to my favorites folder and if I jump into my favorites folder I might know this here you'll see that said saved and if I jump into my favorites folder that list of cowboy images will display here and you could see I had other things 2nd regiment van comes up first because they were saved here first so now I have a list of favorites to look at over here on the left are some export choices if I click the thumbnail here it's going to select all 10 of these images displayed if I want it to just select more than that I could save up to 100 items in my favorites folder and if I change the display to display all 100 then they're all listed here I'll scroll back up I will check all of them and then I'm gonna hit PowerPoint and hit export this is actually going to generate an immediate PowerPoint it's kind of bland it's white but it takes the title and puts it in the title field on the PowerPoint and the image in the center Oh Windows Update postponed no okay sorry about that those always come at the hearse time right and oops so here's the 1914 Polson cowboy band in Missoula here's the image and here's the information or the metadata notice how it hangs off the slide in the ones that I have published on the educational resources page I have cut this information and put it down here in the notes field so it's still with the image but it's not hanging off the slide so if you wanted to do a presentation locally of some of the information or with an organization that you work with about content that you found here this is a very easy way to keep creating a presentation about the content within the MMP okay and you can also then go in and play with if you're familiar with PowerPoint how to change the design make the background pretty you know change the fonts things like that that is my very quick overview of the Montana Memory Project and that leaves us about 15 minutes for questions so if you have questions please let me know it's a very good question sure I'll repeat that in case you didn't hear her she said she was interested in the Chinese in Montana
