Item Analysis

Postcard

Promote postcard front/back claims into an item-level catalog record.

Intake Steps
  1. Read image order
    Every pair of images is treated as front then back. NEXT starts the next postcard.
  2. Create item
    The front and back images are attached to one item. Intake accession and source loc become given claims when present.
  3. Analyze front
    Run thumbnail enrichment on the front image.
  4. Analyze back
    Run postcard back extraction. High-res vision is allowed for handwriting, address, stamp, and postmark details.
Item Steps
  1. Aggregate front and back
    Use front visual claims and back text/postal claims together.
  2. Promote observed metadata
    Caption, printed title, postmark date, stamp value, address text, and message text remain traceable to image claims.
  3. Infer cautiously
    Places, correspondents, or dates are inferred only when supported by visible text or given intake context.
