I’m scanning again this afternoon. I’m on my second series of broadsides from the Literary House Press at Washington College. In the scanner now is a broadside of a poem by Eduardo C. Corral, designed by Jehanne Dubrow and printed by Mike Kaylor in 2013.
The following photos are from visits the June 2016 Digitizing the Cultural Record class at the Rare Book School took to the University of Virginia Library’s Digital Curation Services, the audio/visual collections of the Library of Congress (LoC) Packard Campus, and the mass digitization of botanical collections at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.
