I arrived at the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission at 8:00 a.m.  I resumed the work I was doing this past Thursday digitizing Oral Histories from cassettes.  I had had trouble with two of the oral histories I digitized this past Thursday.  Mrs. Moore had reviewed what I had completed and told me the first oral history I digitized went through great but the other two could not be heard.  Therefore, I did them over again. I noticed I still could not hear the interviews clearly.  Mrs. Moore and I saw what the problem had been. I simply had to turn down the volume on the tape recorder that was hooked up to the computer.  I completed the digitization of two more oral histories before breaking for lunch at 12:47 p.m.  The second oral history that I digitized had very bad audio quality on both sides of the cassette so I notified Mrs. Moore.  I returned from lunch at 1:17 p.m.  I completed the digitization of one more oral history.  Since the Mississippi College Archives at the Leland Speed Library is, more appropriately, called the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission, these interviews are from people associated with the history of both Mississippi Baptist History and Mississippi College itself.  I left the Mississippi Baptist Historical Commission at 4:30 p.m.
