Attempts to describe the process used to hunt down historical information using the Internet archive include [[Help:Research With the Internet Archive|here]] and the following: | |||
*1: Given a state, find the earliest version of the state party website in the Internet archive. | |||
:Find all local contacts: county/parish/borough parties, organizations, affiliates, auxiliaries' and whatever else may appear. Document the paeg you found them and document any names attached to places and the date. | |||
*1A: For student organizations, contacts, and anything else that can be found: find the earliest versions of each organization and record who was in it when to the best approximations that are practical. If a person's title is unclear, put in a question mark (often a singular contact will be a chair). | |||
*1B: Find the next preserved version of the organization and repeat the above. Keep going until you've reached either the present or the most recently preserved information about it. | |||
*2: Move to more recent versions of the state party and find county/parish/borough parties, organizations, affiliates, auxiliaries' and whatever else that may not have been found on the previous iteration. Repeat steps 1A and 1B accordingly. | |||
*3: stuff the results into a spreadsheet (James will happily handle this step) | |||
*3A: Stuff the spreadsheet into the bot (James will happily do this step). | |||
*3B: import the script output into LPedia and watch the articles pop into existence. The person doing this will need Admin permissions here. | |||
