The metadata on this page was imported directly from NARA's catalog record; additional descriptive text may be added by Wikimedians to the template below with the "Description=" parameter, but please do not modify the other fields. |
| Please help us by reporting errors! This may include misidentifications, erroneous images, typos in the metadata, possible copyright issues, and poor-quality images needing rescanning. (Be aware that, for documentary purposes, NARA often retains the original image captions, which may be erroneous, biased, or even misspelled.) |

Parameters
| Parameter name | Description | Default value | required or optional?
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | This is the original title given in the NARA catalog record. | empty | optional |
| Scope and content | If an item has a "Scope and content" tab in its catalog record, include it here. These are notes written by the archivists. | empty | optional |
| General notes | If an item has a "General note(s):" field in its catalog record, include it here. These are notes written by the archivists. | empty | optional |
| Description | Other notes by and description by Wikimedians can go here. | empty | optional |
| ARC | This is the standard, unique ID which points to the item's specific catalog record in ARC (Archival Research Record). It is used to generate the URL for the record. This is absolutely required unless (rarely) the item is not cataloged in ARC, for example if it has been scanned independently by an on-site researcher. | empty | optional |
| Local identifier | This is an ID which does not have a standard form like ARC, but is used by the department which is responsible for the document. It is important if given, but only some documents have a local identifier. | empty | optional |
| Creator | This is the creator of the record, which is usually not the same as the author. Typically, this is the agency whose records contain the document uploaded. | empty | optional |
| Author | This is the writer, artist, photographer, videographer, etc. who actually made the document. These are often not part of the catalog records, or might only be noted as an "index term," and so must be added manually. | empty | optional |
| Location | Still Picture Records Section, Special Media Archives Services Division (NWCS-S), National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD, 20740-6001. | empty | optional |
| Date | Date of creation | empty | optional |
| Record group | The record group, series, and file group information can all be found in the "Hierarchy" tab. The "record group" is the collection-level division of records, which typically includes the records of an entire agency. | empty | optional |
| Record group ARC | Each record group should have its own ARC ID which will link to the record group's catalog record. | empty | optional |
| Series | The record group, series, and file group information can all be found in the "Hierarchy" tab. The "series" is a smaller subset of the record group arranged according to some unifying characteristic like a common author or event. | empty | optional |
| Series ARC | Each series should have its own ARC ID which will link to the record group's catalog record. | empty | optional |
| File unit | The record group, series, and file group information can all be found in the "Hierarchy" tab. The "file unit" is another yet-smaller optional subgrouping of the series. Only some items belong to file units, while most will belong directly to a series. | empty | optional |
| File unit ARC | Each file unit, if one exists, should have its own ARC ID which will link to the record group's catalog record. | empty | optional |
| Variant control numbers | Generally, most items will have at least one variant control number listed, the obsolete "NAIL Control Number." There may also be multiple NAILs. These can be included for completeness here. There may be other special control numbers which should also be included. Use manual line breaks ("") to separate control numbers. | empty | optional |
| TIFF | Use "yes" to indicate that the file uploaded is a high-resolution TIFF master file of the original National Archives scan. | empty | optional |
| Other versions | TIFF files are intended to be converted to JPEG for graphical documents and DjVu for textual documents. As well, TIFF files for multi-page documents will be uploaded as separate files. Use "Other versions" to display other pages for the same document as well as derivative files using <gallery> and labeling the pages and file formats with captions, as was done here. | empty | optional |
| medium | Field inherited from {{Artwork}}'s template. | empty | optional |
| dimensions | Field inherited from {{Artwork}}'s template. | empty | optional |
| institution | Field inherited from {{Artwork}}'s template. Use to overwrite the default value | {{Institution:National Archives and Records Administration}} | optional |
| references | Field inherited from {{Artwork}}'s template. | empty | optional |
