Digital History Seminar: 20th Century Spain

Media Guidelines

Media Strategy 

All media for this project should be: uploaded as a local or internet media file; assigned a title, description, and metadata following the below guidelines; and tagged on the digital collection page. Note that internet media files may show up as a grey thumbnail in our digital collection, so use local files when possible. If your selected media is composed of multiple files or pages, save it as a single PDF and add the required metadata to the PDF entry. Then create an image file of the first page of your PDF (no metadata required and do not tag it on the digital collection page), and use the styling tab to make this file the thumbnail image for your entry.
