  • How to Transcribe
    How to Transcribe Version 3.0 of April 15, 2016 Overview You will find the digitizations of the Boston Athenaeum's books borrowed registers in the Digital Collections section of the Athenaeum's web site. You can download the volume you want to your computer, flash drive, etc. We are starting the transcription project with Volume I (1827-1834). Let Mary Warnement ([email protected]) know what page or pages you would like to transcribe so that we do not have volunteers duplicating efforts. Transcribing for Search We are transcribing for search and retrieval rather than for manuscript fidelity. Having searched for and found a page of interest using our transcriptions, a researcher can, if they desire, refer to the scan of the found page for scriptural details. The key to transcribing for search is uniformity across the transcriptions. To achieve this uniformity, we record in this How to Transcribe document guidelines for transcription. This is a working document. When you encounter a situation that is not sufficiently well covered in the document, bring it to the attention of the group for discussion, resolution, and inclusion in an updated version of the document. 1) General Guidelines 1.1) Unless otherwise specified, spell out abbreviations. For example, in transcribing dates spell out the name of the month. 1.2) Appendix A below is a table of special abbreviations that you may encounter together with how each of these special abbreviation should be rendered in your transcription. 1.3) All quotes are transcribed to what is being quoted. Thus, for example, with regards to the following three register entries the month of the second entry would be transcribed as April and the author of the third entry would be transcribed as Pepys Quoted text in the registers is indicated in a number of ways other than by the quotation mark as above including the character sequence do How to Transcribe and a straight line.

  • A Brief History of Children's Storybooks
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS AN ORIGINAL STORY WITH RELIEF PRINT ILLUSTRATIONS MARILYN TURNER MCPHERON Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Art with honors in Art Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robin Gibson Associate Professor of Art Thesis Supervisor Jerrold Maddox Professor of Art Honors Adviser *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College ABSTRACT Children’s literature, in the form of picture and storybooks, introduce a child to one of the most important tools needed to succeed in life: the ability to read. With the availability of affordable books in the 18th century, due to the introduction of new mechanization, individuals had the ability to improve their lives and widen their worlds. In the 19th century, writers of fiction began to specialize in literature for children. In the 20th century, books for children, with beautiful, colorful illustrations, became a common gift for children. The relatively rapid progression from moralistic small pamphlets on cheap paper with crude woodcuts to the world of Berenstain Bears, colorful Golden Books, and the tongue-twisters of Dr. Seuss is an intriguing social change. The story of how a storybook moves from an idea to the bookstore shelf is equally fascinating. Combining the history of children’s literature with how a storybook is created inspired me to write and illustrate my own children’s book, ―OH NO, MORE SNOW!‖ i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Schreyer Honors College,

  • Vocabulary Analysis of Project Gutenberg
    11/29/2018 Project Guttenberg Vocabulary Analysis Vocabulary Analysis of Project Gutenberg Zachary Booth Simpson May 2000 (c)2002 ZBS. http://www.mine-control.com/zack Please sign my guestbo0k if you find this work useful. Introduction While reading Moby Dick in April 2000, I was astounded by Melville's enormous vocabulary. I wondered what was Moby Dick's total vocabulary and how it compared to other works. Thanks to the Project Gutenberg, an online resource for literature, (and copious spare-time) I was able to download a considerable sample of works and perform a word analysis. The following are the results from this informal study including relative vocabulary densities and anomalous word usage. Please sign my guestbo0k if you find this interesting or helpful. Thanks, Zack Sample Database The works represented in this study come exclusively from the Project Gutenberg (PG). While most PG works are included, the sample is not complete; some works have been eliminated for obvious reasons (e.g. Pi to 10,000 digits) while others works were eliminated because they were malformed or unavailable. Some books in the Project Gutenberg are split into several seperate volumes or alternatively several works are combined into one; this may effect the sample slightly, especially the Anomalous Word Charts. In some cases, I have manually combined multiple volumes into one for logical consistency. The sample index was derived from the Thallason Index of the Project Gutenberg because the master indices from the PG itself were inconsistent. I extend my thanks to their efforts as well as to all contributors to the Project Gutenberg.

  • The Self-Conscious Codex: Artists' Books and Electronic Media
    The Self-Conscious Codex: Artists' Books and Electronic Media JohannaDrucker THECODEX FORM, CHARACTERIZED BY BOUND SHEETS fixed in a regular sequence of individual pages, has proved durable on account of its efficien- cy and flexibility through hundreds of years of use. Capable of containing vast amounts of information readily accessed and systematically ordered, it is deceptively simple in form. This apparent simplicity results in part from its familiarity, its pervasive presence in many aspects of historical and contemporary life. With the advent of electronic media, the codex book has become a favorite object in apocalyptic predictions of extinction. Rising printing and paper costs, shortage of storage facilities, and mouthings of ecological concerns over wood-pulp paper consumption have combined with a vision of a book-less library stocked with electronic databases, on- screen search machines, and dazzling innovations superseding the modest capabilities of the tried and true codex book. Warnings against the foolhar- diness-and improbability-of the imminent demise of the book as a source of reference and pleasure meet with the same enthusiasm granted the wet-blanket comments of a chaperon at an old fashioned school dance. Sanely speaking, however, it seems sage to consider that in the immediate future the codex book, whatever it may be in the long run, is likely to have a profound effect on the conceptualization of new electronic innovations- and vice-versa. The process by which new forms of information storage, writing practice, and readerly interface will evolve will no doubt transform many of the conventions that have been standard aspects of book produc- tion.

Approximately 200 items were reviewed, and the structures, materials, and dec- oration of the bindings were recorded. The Edo period texts were almost exclusively produced by wood-block printing on Japanese paper bound with a side-stitch into paper cov- ers (fig.
