Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

Today was good and also a bit frustrating. I was able to touch base with Stephanie on two future projects, both looking very promising and more to come on those later!

I moved onto OCRing the thesis on the History of the Tillamook, and the verification process is much more tedious on smudged askew print than regular print. I look forward to diving deeper into it and hopefully I won't look too much like this.

Welcome back, Bearcats! 

New school year means new projects! I had a lovely summer working with Jenny and getting things done for our PNAA Project.

Back to filling in little projects here and there today I was able to completely scan a thesis from the shelves of the library on the history of the Tillamook.

Luckily the ATIZ was liking us today and was able to work smoothly through all 604 scans. It did amazing. Tomorrow I plan to OCR the document so we can make better use of this thesis!

Sara had made the comment that one of the more impressive things of this thesis was that it was completely typed out (not from a computer). It was beautiful and in scanning no mistakes seemed to pop out to me. Truly amazing work.
