7 recipe sections
The physical source has now been scanned in full. Recipe-level cataloging continues as titles, contributors, printed page numbers, relationship notes and other source details are matched to individual Nostalgic Foodie recipe records.
WHY THIS SOURCE MATTERS
A cookbook with a much wider range than the first recipes suggested.
The complete scan spans seven printed recipe sections: Appetizers & Beverages; Soups & Salads; Vegetables; Main Dishes; Breads & Rolls; Desserts; and Miscellaneous. Throughout the book, recipes are often accompanied by contributor names, HEA units, family relationships, memorial attributions and occasional first-person notes about gatherings, traditions, 4-H demonstrations and how a recipe entered a family.
Those details are being cataloged alongside the recipes so the archive can preserve the food without separating it from the evidence that gives it context.
INSIDE THE SOURCE
The original book stays connected to the digital archive.
01 / COVER
Keep the physical source visible.
The original cookbook cover is preserved as part of this Archive File rather than recreated or stylized.
02 / RECIPE PAGES
Attach the evidence.
The full cookbook scan is complete. Individual recipe-page evidence can now be connected to each digital recipe as that recipe is cataloged and prepared for publication.
03 / PROVENANCE
Record only what the source supports.
Contributor names, page numbers and publication details are recorded when they can be read from the source. Unverified legacy details stay provisional until the scan confirms them.
