Audio

If you plan to include audio interviews with a contribution in your collection, the process is very similar to naming and uploading photos.

Before you start: Make sure your audio and transcript files are named properly first.

  • The audio file needs to be named itemnumber.mp3.
  • If there’s an accompanying transcript, it should be a Word doc file (with a .docx extension) and should be named itemnumber_Transcript.docx.
  • Example: For an item named 2023-10-14-0001, your audio file would be named 2023-10-14-0001.mp3 and the text version of the transcript would be named 2023-10-14-0001_Transcript.docx.

To upload audio and transcript files,

  1. Open the assets folder in your Github repo
  2. Open the transcripts folder in that assets folder How to find the image folder in your DigitalArc repo
  3. Press the “Add File” button and choose “Upload file”
  4. Drag the files you want to upload into the “Drag files” area.
  5. Press the “Commit changes” button
  6. In the pop-up window, press the “Commit changes” button again.
