This is a bit risky but I don’t have many options right now. I am over schedule on finishing a major revision and expansion of my photo CD collection and I could use a little help to cut down the time I am losing on my dissertation. <\/p>\n
I am potentially looking for several short-term, part-time helpers to do a few specific tasks. The first three require the PowerPoint program. All work would be done on a flexible schedule from your home, library, or coffee shop. Most of this work would be accomplished within the next month.<\/p>\n
1. Basic editing of notes. By basic I mean fixing a few specified issues (feet to meters, BC\/AD). I wish my son had the time to do this, for it would be good learning (and some income) for him. I could leave it in the state it’s been all these years, but it bugs me and is less helpful to readers.<\/p>\n
2. Text formatting. If you know how to adjust margins and indents in Word, this is the main thing that is involved.<\/p>\n
3. Skillful editing of notes. This is a higher-level of editing that would just clean things up into better English grammar. For instance, changing: “Jaffa is the modern name for biblical Joppa. It is located about 30 miles south of Caesarea” to something like: “Known in biblical times as Joppa, the city of Jaffa is located 30 miles south of Caesarea.” (Person #1 would change it to “30 miles (48 km)”.) <\/p>\n
4. Research. Some simple work using standard sources about sites portrayed in the photographs. Possibly 20-30 sites, at a total of 3-4 sites\/hour. Previous study in Israel is essential and access to a library would be helpful. Must have good writing skills.<\/p>\n
5. Photo editing. I have a few hundred scanned slides I need to “bring back to life.” This requires some previous experience. There may be some advantage if you use Lightroom.<\/p>\n
I don’t mind doing any of this, but my problem is the massive quantity and the limited time. I’m working with more than 12,000 photographs and 1,000-1,500 pages of text.<\/p>\n
