PNAA- 7/19/19

Today I was able to catch up on metadata and finish some needed touch-ups on some older scans. Moved onto Henk Pander's sketches of first responders and they are really beautiful here are the images I have so far and due to the size of these scans there wasn't a way to get the whole edge even on the beast. I placed them down below, hopefully these work if not I will move onto brainstorming more ideas on Monday. (I am missing 2 scans because the file was too large.)

PNAA - 7/16/19

Back to blogging after a pretty crazy week. We have jumped to another collection and I was in the process of scanning newspaper size zines from the Nicholsloy collection. The zines were slightly too large for the scanner and because the Beast was down and not working resorted to splicing images together to form the whole sheet. For a double check to make sure we have the best scan now that the ATIZ is working again we are going to back and rescanning the full sheet rather than having to splice them. It really is interesting to see the difference in the two scanners. 

I also was able to scan a sketchbook from the Claudia Cave collection and christmas party invitations from the Tom Cramer collection. Will be moving forward with the rest of the zine's  this week.

PNAA - 7/8/19

Happy to be back and excited to continue forward on this project. I wrapped up the diary and everything looks okay. Most files are in tip top shape but due to her writing close to the inside edge of the book some edges are hard to distinguish what the beginning letters are. It should be great for now and if there are some that give us major problems we can also take a closer look. Tomorrow we plan on moving forward to the next collection.
