Little Wives of India Finished!

Today I finished editing the images for the ILL book The Little Wives of India. The finished images are in tif and jpeg format in drobo in the folder "The Little Wives of India." Next week, unless any other special projects come up, I assume I'll be resuming work on the Wallulahs which I haven't worked on in a while.

Almost Done

Today I scanned a two pages that were missing from the 1975 Wallulah and continued work on The Little Wives of India. Since I took the afternoon off, I wasn't able to finish today as I had planned but there are only 15 pages left to edit and then I need to retrieve some of the original files to edit for about 10 more pages.

Next week on Monday and Wednesday I'll be making up exercise classes from 10:30-12:30 both days so I will be in Wednesday from 3:00-5:00PM and for both my shifts on Friday.

Productivity

Today I scanned and cropped a couple Packwood documents for Mary. I also scanned a photo of a former dean of AGSM which was in a booklet. After completing these, I resumed working on the Little Wives of India and have around 50 images left to edit.

Monday

I continued working on polishing the images for the book The Little Wives of India today. I have around 60 images left to edit. There are some which I might have to re-scan or retrieve the original captured image since it seems the auto-crop cut off a portion of the book. I should be finished before the end of the week.

Friday

Today I began editing all the images in Photoshop. They require some additional de-skewing and cropping since the close binding of the book made the images irregular. I completed 63 of 168 so far so I'm planning on finishing soon sometime next week.

Progress

Today I finished scanning the entire book The Little Wives of India. I also processed them through Book Drive Editor Pro, however I'll probably need to tweak each image in Photoshop which I plan to do on Friday. Also, the plastic cleaner for The Beast arrived so I'll experiment with that on Friday as well.

The Little Wives of India

After scanning a small photo for Mary, I began scanning the book which is intended for an inter-library loan. It's titled The Little Wives of India and from what I've skimmed, gives a heartbreaking account of Indian child-brides in the early 20th century.

The Beast is scanning the book very well; the scratching and dust on the glass don't seem to be affecting the photo quality and I have been able to capture all the text on each page despite the very small margins near the binding. I've scanned about 60 pages out of 130.

Wednesday

Today I finished scanning and editing the WU Sustainability magazine which is in the "Sustainability" folder in Archives Scans.

I also printed out a couple of photos for Mary which may need to be redone if the dimensions are not correct. After printing, I needed to replace several color cartridges in the printer and we are out of and running low on a couple colors so I sent a supply order to Chris.

Sustainability Magazine

I've scanned half of the WU Sustainability magazine but I won't be able to finish it until Wednesday. If it needs to be done as soon as possible, I might be able to come in tomorrow afternoon. The sustainability magazine shouldn't take too long though and then I'll start experimenting with scanning the little ILL book on The Beast.
