I have liked the initial training here at the museum, and it seems pretty straightforward; I only really think that the difficult part of the job will be cataloguing new materials and items that the museum is intaking at and then categorizing them within the museum’s archives. Over the course of this week the majority of what I have been working on have been the transcriptions of the Whitescarver’s family notes and correspondence from a soldier in World War I to and from his family and friends back here in the Salem area, while this has definatly tested my ability to read cursive and different people’s handwritings, I have found the work enjoyable although at some stages it has been a little bit monotonous.
