Creating Metadata for Transcribed Letters

Using standardized vocabularies and formats is what makes metadata most useful. Here at UNH, we are using DublinCore and Library of Congress subject headings as our standards. As I create the metadata for each letter, I am thinking about how the 14th Regiment moved around quite a bit, and it would be great to link the location each letter was written, with geographical links as well as information about that location during the war.
