Staying under the umbrella of the Public History Central internship, working with the other teams has proven beneficial and enjoyable, as I have collaborated with my fellow teammates and gained a deeper insight into the work they’ve accomplished this semester.

I split my time by attempting to chip away at more of the DeBary spreadsheet, as there was too much to complete within one semester, and many cells had to start from scratch. I truly wish there was more time in the day to accomplish a few more cells, but some categories require more time to gather content than others.

As I continue to work through the DeBary spreadsheet, I use green to highlight all the double- and even triple-checked correct cells, keeping everything organized and ensuring that nothing is overlooked. Over time, I’ve tried out a few different color-coding methods, but this one has been the most helpful in identifying what I still need to complete easily.

While still working on the DeBary spreadsheet, I’ve laid a lot of groundwork when it comes to fixing up some of the formatting, like dates and subject headings.
