Proposal to digitize Vassar’s millionth book, Bidloo’s Anatomia. After careful consideration, we realize that we don’t have the equipment in-house to digitize such a large volume, and we’ve asked for estimates from the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) for digitization.
Status: approved, estimate received. Digitization will begin in the summer.
Notes:
Functionality needed:
- Zoomable images (400ppi, 48-bit archival TIFFs, jp2 generated)
- Searchable text
- Keep color bars on service copies?
- Essays from faculty and librarians about importance of work?
Stakeholders:
- Susan Kuretsky, Art History
- Libraries
