Always review digital images you make of original documents while you are at the facility. Always take pictures as consistently as possible. I should have written the file name and case number on a little slip of paper to include in each image–which I forgot to do this time. That’s important to do if you are making images from more than one set of papers at a time.

Some documents were large and we took pictures of those records in pieces for that reason. We forgot to take an overview photo of one document. Fortunately we have all the record–just in pieces. When taking partial images of a document, make certain to have enough overlap in each image so that you know what fits were and that nothing is left out.
