Become a TAMI Tagger!

Tagging is the attachment of keywords or other descriptive information to an online item, such as a webpage or a picture. Another way to think about it is as adding personalized labels. Adding these tags or labels makes the information searchable on the terms in the tags.

Tagging at TAMI means identifying people and things in our videos, telling us when or where something happened, or even sharing anecdotes about the events taking place. TAMI tags link your knowledge to an exact place in the video. Clicking a link in the window to the right of the video will cue up the video to the “tagged” item.

When you see something you want to tag, follow the steps below. The numbers in the image below correspond to the number of the step when you click them.

When the video is at the point you wish to annotate:

1. Click the Begin button

2. Click the arrow to start the video

3. When the segment you want to mark is finished, click the End button.

4. Click the check mark to accept the segment markings

5. Click on the envelope icon. This will open an email with a link to the segment in the body, and the name of the video as the subject.

6. Include the information about the video clip in the email.

7. Address the email to tamitags@texasarchive.org and send it to us so we can link your notes to the video.

You can also use this procedure to send an email to anyone you want to see the video!
