If two or more interviewees have the same last name, differentiate files using first initials.  If multiple transcripts exist, use numbers to differentiate them.  If providing both the original and revised transcripts, please designate them with "revised" or "original" as appropriate.

Notes:

• These requirements only apply to the original materials created for the Community History Project.  You do not need to make digital versions of the any of the materials that appear in Appendices, such as copies of newspaper and journal articles, archival documents, etc.

Differentiate recordings by putting a number after each one.
