Brief History 1995 G&M’s Digital Scanning Lab • Digitization of Historic Items • not “Born Digital” • Research Quality images through the Internet
What Do We Scan
Scanning Goals: • Research quality images (not facsimiles) • Access to surrogates without risking the original item(s) • Controlled access – Voyager – Persistent URLs (aka: Handles) – Digital IDs • Example: http: //hdl. loc. gov/loc. gmd/g 3750. ct 000097
Scanning Priorities • Popular items (cartobibliographies) • Out of copyright (pre-1923 for U. S. publications and U. S. Government publications) • Items with existing catalog records ©
Scanning with Jumbo. Scanner This scanner uses an overhead camera that scans Red, then Green, then Blue. A full bed scan of over 3’x 5’ takes about five minutes (same as with Tangent) to scan a 300 dpi item 1: 1 resolution
Processing • Raw TIFF images are stored on a server • DELLs: – 200 GB of RAM – 80 GB hard drive – 160 GB 2 nd hard drive • Adobe Photoshop • Aware JPEG 2000
Metadata • Metadata tables • Who, what, when, by whom, on which scanner, what project, file name, file location, geographic location, and notes
