 ====Step 1: Access the Scanned Gazetteer Pages====
-Choose the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=180H09kI56hWb_F0qztMpTbSVCvTJD5YJ Bohemian Gazetteer] or the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qN35L76NmSJSjFGsnv3R4mLTwiHT2nc4 Moravian Gazetteer]. '''You will need to download them for this project, due to the large size of each file. Google will warn you that they can't scan the file for viruses. These files are safe to download.'''
+Download both the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=180H09kI56hWb_F0qztMpTbSVCvTJD5YJ Bohemian Gazetteer] and the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qN35L76NmSJSjFGsnv3R4mLTwiHT2nc4 Moravian Gazetteer].

+====Step 2: Select the locality or localities you want to work on====
-*Using the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hS1ZJ2GyEVo_GrOS_gUaYaoFjVh4ixUl4TwkMF0_wYs/edit?usp=sharing task list], choose the page you want to work on. Make sure you select the tab for the Gazetteer you chose. You can find the tabs across the bottom of the spreadsheet. Put your name in the name column. This way we know who's working on what page and people won't do the same work. <br>
+*Using the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hS1ZJ2GyEVo_GrOS_gUaYaoFjVh4ixUl4TwkMF0_wYs/edit#gid=251889507 task list], choose a locality (column c) and put your name in the column marked contributor name.

+*Check the archive column (column F) to see if the archive has been entered on the row or not. If it has been entered in, enter the date in the date completed column and move on to the next locality. If the archive column is empty, move to step 3.
-====Step 3: Go to the page you selected in the gazetteer====
+===Step 3: Find the locality from the task list in the Bohemian and Moravian Gazetteers===
-*Open the gazetteer you downloaded and scroll to the page you are working on.
+*If the archive column is blank. Check both Moravian and Bohemian Gazetteers you downloaded for that locality.
-*You may find it easier to keep track of the line you are on and the Gazetteer names you will be working with if you print out the page or pages you have signed up for on the task list.
+*You will have six or seven columns for each page, depending on the gazetteer you're consulting:
-:'''Example:''' If you signed up for page #44 on the Bohemian task list, you can print only page #44 and will have it on the desk. With a ruler, you are better able to keep track of your work.
-*You will have six or seven columns for each page, depending on the gazetteer you chose:
 #Locality
 #Alternate spellings or names for that locality

 *'''The gazetteers are in alphabetical order by locality.'''
 *'''Some pages were scanned more than once because the quality of the first scan was poor. If you notice missing columns or information on your, scroll forward a page or two to check for a better scan of the page.'''
+====Step 4: Find the correct archive for your locality====
-====Step 4: Search for each locality in the gazetteer spreadsheet and add the correct archive====
+*Look at column 4 in the gazetteer file you downloaded to identify the archive.  They are all identified by the letter in that column
-*Open the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QACiKGiMYNEqF-l9xlt34Vzfyjg2Ake_nFtUqy_FrXg/edit#gid=740973258 the gazetteer spreadsheet].
-*Go through each locality in column 1 of the gazetteer PDF, finding it in the gazetteer spreadsheet in the municipality column. There is a tab for each letter of the alphabet. Each one has been sorted in alphabetical order by municipality to make this easier. Using control+F will make this easier.
-*Check the archive column on the gazetteer spreadsheet. If there is already an archive listed, you can move on to the next locality. If not, look at column 4 in the gazetteer file you downloaded to identify the archive.  They are all identified by the letter in that column

 ====For multiple localities with the same name or localities not in the gazetteer spreadsheet====
-*If there is more than one locality with the same name compare the judicial district (column 6) in the book with the judicial district in the  gazetteer spreadsheet to determine which archive goes with that locality. Then add the archive from column 4 on the row to the gazetteer spreadsheet.
