I arrived at the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission s at 8:05 a.m. as I was 5 minutes late because of a train.  I resumed my duties of digitizing the oral history collection that was on cassette.  The correct device had been connected to the computer so that I could record and fast forward the cassettes.  I was able to complete four of the oral history cassettes. I worked with recording and playback levels to make sure that they were suitable for storage.  These oral histories belong to the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission. I took a break for lunch at 12:45 and returned at 1:15.  Once the oral history was recorded and saved as a file via the software, I then learned how to export it to an MP3 file.  This also required me putting in metadata that applied to the oral history cassette.  The ones I have completed so far have either the title or date or both.  The fourth oral history completed its recording to the system.  However, I still need to delete some dead air that it contains before the interview and the cuts between the two sides of the cassette. I left the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission at 4:35 p.m.
