Overview

Historically womens names in some collections hidden from historical record; one example of this can be found in some collections in the Alexander Architectural Archives. In 2022, a pilot program was run by Katie Pierce Meyer, Stephanie Tiedeken, Beth Dodd, and Nancy Sparrow to find unattributed female clients' names within architectural drawings and add them to their records (contributor and title field.) This work was conducted with students from the Intro to Metadata course taught by Dr. Albert Palacios, job title. The workflow below is adapted from these individuals' work as well as initial research by Devon Murphy, Metadata Analyst. The workflow is to be adaptable to any metadata schema.
