These are from a few years ago before I got smart and started writing down information like film type, lenses, settings. I would just put "F3" in the keywords. Then, when I would look at them later, I did not know what I was shooting with or what film I used. Just the camera! Now I have a spread sheet with all the information written down. I first record the information on my cell phone when I take the shot and then put that information in the spreadsheet after I scan the negatives. It is a bit of a pain; but it is nice to know what lens was used and what settings and film type.

The very act of recording the information of the data involved creating a particular photograph helps to connect you with the experience of making that image.
Agreed. I really do try to record all the film photos as I take them now. Even if I'm shooting with a digital camera, and a vintage lens, I record the lens and the settings because that does not show up on the exif data. Thanks

I make notes into my Outlook calendar of the date, lens(es) and film when I'm out shooting. An EOS 1v also captures EXIF I can extract from the camera and merge into the scans, especially updating the shooting date / time (approx) and the lens. Similar to your spreadsheet, I add keywords into my LR catalog for the JPEG scans.
Do we know which film type(s) used here?
I load my own bulk film. These were taken last year. I'm pretty sure that I was using Ilford Delta 100 at the time. It could also be FP4+; but I'm pretty sure that it was the Delta 100.
