Documenting and Preserving Field Family Collection

This project involves assisting the archivist with inputting data into the museum's PastPerfect database for the Field Family collection. The Fields were a significant early family in Piscataway. A section of Piscataway named "Fieldville" included a school and several mansions built by Richard D. Field who accumulated money from selling supplies to the Union Army near the end of the Civil War. The descriptions need accuracy checks, locations verified, items photographed or scanned, items properly persevered and stored, and information input in the database.
