Terri, I had a chance to play around with your suggestion this morning, and it worked beautifully. I now have a master source called Suplick-Spingola Family Papers, and add, in the "item of interest" field in source detail for each citation, a descriptive name of the artifact.
Follow-up question.... After my mother died, I collected up her presonal stash of artifacts, and put them together with mine and those of her mother, into binders with acid free vinyl sleeves. The collection includes many wedding invitations and birth announcements, and it also contains many newspaper clippings (unsourced), as well as other tidbits. For the newspaper clippings, I read some old messages about how one might source these. But now I'm in a quandry. Would it be best for me to cite my new "Suplick-Spingola Family Papers" as the source for these? Or create a separate artifact source for "Newspaper clipping, unsourced"? Thanks for your opinions.
