Bidloo digitization

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
