A Guide to Community Cataloging
We’ve developed these tools so that you can have more of a hand in how we describe the films in our collections and how they are meaningful to you. Watch the videos below to learn how to get started.

MEMORY AND ACCOUNT CREATION GUIDE
Memories are long-form entries associated with particular films in
the archive. They allow you to share written memories with your loved
ones and the community at large. To create memories or to tag without
the time limit, you will need to create an account.

COMMUNITY TAGGING GUIDE
Learn about community tagging
Community tagging is a tool we developed to draw more connections
between the films in SSHMP archive. Similar to a hashtag, tags are words
or short phrases that connect films by subject matter, mood, location,
or person. Community tagging allows for the community to be involved in
forging those connections.
