Cataloging and Transcribing

My mentor trained me in using the cataloging software PastPerfect on Monday. To do this, she gave me a small bag filled with 23 Bowie Race Track Betting Tickets from April 7, 1942. I was to catalog all 23 tickets to forever be stored into the museum system.

Here a picture of some of the tickets

It was pretty neat to be able to touch something from 1942. It's funny but true.

I think it was last week that I mentioned I was transcribing a probate inventory. I have a photo of a part of the inventory that I can share now. I have already transcribed it into a word document.
