I’ve been using CollectionBuilder a lot these past two weeks for the TDPS archive, so I think it’s appropriate to reflect on that process. I’ve honestly been having a lot of fun using it. There was a bit of a frustrating point starting out when trying to get the right versions and making sure the spreadsheets were set up correctly, but after that it was smooth sailing. I also love that the entire project is open source because I was able to make edits to the template’s source code itself. This gave me so much more freedom to experiment and change parts to feel more like what I think the Kate and Erik wanted from the website. I think in general I like looking into templates like these and figuring out how they work, so this was pretty fun to do. The main obstacle for this and the project as a whole is transferring from the small test site I made into a larger one to hold the archive materials, but that is not a step we can take until those materials are hosted.
