| ===Part A: Adding Links for County Histories===
| |
| ==== Step 1: Review List on County Page ====
| |
|
| |
|
| 1. Select a county to work on from the task list. Type your name in the name column. <br> | | ====Part A: Select a County and Find the County Histories on Missouri Digital Heritage==== |
| | 1. Choose a county on the task list. Put your name in the name column.<br> |
|
| |
|
| 2. Go to the Wiki page for the county you are working on and see if there is already a list of local histories listed under the heading "Local Histories".<br> | | 2. Go to [https://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh# Missouri Digital Heritage].<br> |
|
| |
|
| 3. If there are books listed with links to digital images, go to Part A, Step 2 below to reformat the links to match the instructions.<br> | | 3. Click on the Quick Links to the upper right and select county histories.<br> |
|
| |
|
| 4. If there is not a link to a digital image of the book, start with Part A, Step 3 and go through each website to see if an online version can be located. Then use the instructions in Part A, Step 2 to format the links to match the instructions.<br> | | 4. Go to the section at the bottom of the page titled "search by county".<br> |
|
| |
|
| 5. After reformatting and adding links to existing entries, go to Part A, Step 4. | | 5. Select your county and click "search".<br> |
| | <br> |
|
| |
|
| '''WARNING:''' If at any time the list for online books becomes too large, please feel free to decide what should be included and what should not. Local histories created before 1900 and shortly thereafter are excellent to keep because they can contain biographies of local residents and early settlers. Focus on those early county histories first. <br>
| | ====Part B: Review the County History Links to the Wiki==== |
| | 1. Check each county history on Missouri Digital Heritage to make sure it's not already listed on the Wiki page. You will find them under the heading "Local Histories" below "Land and Property Records" and above "Maps and Gazetteers".<br> |
|
| |
|
| ====Step 2: How to Format Entries for Local Histories====
| | 2. Add the county histories not already listed on the Wiki page under the heading "Local Histories", using the instructions below the heading "How to Format Entries for Local Histories" to correctly format each entry. Limit the number added to three histories.<br> |
| 1.'''You can go to a sandbox page or directly edit the county page. Because others may be adding other content on county pages, we suggest working in one of your sandbox pages.''' <br>
| |
| | |
| 2. Refer to the catalog entry for the book and use the following format to enter the information about the book on your sandbox page:<br>
| |
| :a. Start each entry with a bullet. <br>
| |
| :b. Title of book in italics<br>
| |
| :c. Year of publication<br>
| |
| :d. Add the word “By” and then put the author’s full name, starting with first name<br>
| |
| :e. Add publication information, using the following: publication location, followed by colon, publisher.<br>
| |
| :f. Add the words "Online at:" at the end following the publisher.
| |
| :g. All books should be placed in alphabetical order by title.
| |
| '''Example:'''<br>
| |
| :*''Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Adams, Clay, Hall and Hamilton Counties, Nebraska.'' 1890. Chicago, Illinois: Goodspeed Pub. Co. Online at:
| |
| | |
| '''Wikitext example:'''<br>
| |
| :<nowiki>*''Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Adams, Clay, Hall and Hamilton Counties, Nebraska.'' 1890. Chicago, Illinois: Goodspeed Pub. Co. Online at:</nowiki> <br>
| |
| | |
| '''Words of guidance:'''<br>
| |
| *Capitalize the complete title even though it is not that way in the catalog.<br>
| |
| *If the title is really long, just give the first portion of the title and leave off the rest.<br>
| |
| :'''Example:''' ''History and resources of Jasper County, Missouri: the direct road to health, happiness and fortune'' '''can be changed to''' ''History and Resources of Jasper County, Missouri''. <br>
| |
| *For missing information, use the following guidelines:
| |
| **Missing author: leave it blank and move on to the publisher information.
| |
| **Missing publication date: use n.d.
| |
| **Missing publication place: use n.p.
| |
| **Missing publisher: use n.p.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Example of no author, no date of publication, no place of publication, and no publisher information:'''<br>
| | 3. If the county history is already on the Wiki page, check to see if Missouri Digital Heritage is linked to in the entry. The links will appear after the words "online at".<br> |
| :''Niobrara Centennial 1856-1956.'' N.d. N.p: N.p.<br>
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Step 3: Finding and Adding Links for Digital Images of Books to the Wiki When They are Not on the Wiki Page===
| | 4. If Missouri Digital Heritage is not linked to it, check the number of links in the entry. If there are less than three, go to "Part D: Adding the Link to Missouri Digital Heritage to an Existing Entry".<br> |
| When you come across a county history and there is no link to a digital image of the book, please search the following sites for it, go to the subheadings for the site where you found it.
