Swan Lake (Bannock County) - Thomas Merc, Undated
Scope and Contents
The media holdings of the Living Traditions of the Bear River Heritage Area project were assigned project identification letters and numbers in the field as follows:
- Prefix:
- BR = Bear River
- Year: 03 (Only for the Idaho Fieldwork, which helps differentiate the two fieldwork projects: Utah/Idaho)
- Fieldworkers:
- SB = Sarah Barsness
- LD = Lisa Duskin-Goede
- AG = Andrea Graham
- SH = Sally Haueter
- AJ = Andrew Jorgensen
- TL = Terry Livingston
- RP = Robin Parent
- ET = Elaine Thatcher
- MW = Michael Ward
- RW = Randy Williams
- Media Format Codes:
- T=Cassettes Tape
- DAT=DAT Digital Tape
- B=Black and White Print Image/Film
- C=Color Print Images/Film
- D=Digital Color Images
- CD = Compact Disc
- F=Fieldnotes
- Sequential number within each format, such as 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Frame number for images:
- Sequential number of the frame (image/slide).
The codes within each alpha-numeric identification are ordered in the following way: the prefix, the year (for the Idaho fieldwork), the fieldworker, the media type, the number within the group and for images the frame. For example, BR-SH-C-3:5 is the fifth frame on the third roll of color film that Sally Haueter took in Utah. BR-03-AG-T-13 is Andrea Graham's Idaho fieldwork, her 13th tape. The indices to the images on the CDs (digital duplicate photographs of all the print versions) are listed first by the CD identification number, followed by the corresponding number to the print version (BR-AG-CD-1-15: BR-AG-C-2-10).
