Happy Almost Friday!

Another productive day! The ATIZ decided to work swimmingly well and was able to scan an entire Jason issue! Hope to OCR it on Tuesday! Have a great weekend, all!

Always Learning New Things!

Today, I learned so new things and am moving forward! I was able to use the new trick Sara taught me with OCR and was able to finally finish the OCR processing for the Tillamook Thesis. That finishes the Tillamook Thesis for me and I believe Stephanie mentioned a new project for another researcher. Not sure yet, but plan to check in before Thursday. The fixed scan from yesterday was scanned at the wrong DPI, so I plan to go back and fix that as well. Very productive week so far!

P.S. - Here is the file location for the Tillamook Thesis, in respective OCR and Tifs folders.

Onto The Next One!

Today, I was able to fix the last few hiccups on the Eyerly Jack project and take a trip back to Sandgren Slides to fix the scan of a slide. Next, I refocused on the Tillamook Thesis to try and get these pages OCRed without verification. There was some unresponsiveness from the program, but managed to fight through it. Should be able to finish up that process by the end of the week

Sorry For The Late Post!

Things got a bit hectic there for a minute, but I am back. I was able to finish up the Jack Eyerly project with only one hiccup. It looks like one of the scans cut off about two inches on the left. I cut off most an important title so on Tuesday I will redo the scan and update the .pdf for that folder. It has been extremely interesting and hopefully, these scans help towards their research.

Another Rainy Day!

Today I was able to finish the last two folder for the Eyerly project. I know have .tifs for all documents and plan to create .pdfs tomorrow along with finish up the OCR without verification on the History of Tillamook.

Happy Rainy Tuesday, Everyone!

(this is me trying to stay dry as I walk between classes)

Today was a productive day was able to get almost all the way through box ten with just a few scans left. Tomorrow I will be able to finish up box ten and move onto box eleven. It is looking like this project should be wrapped up by the end of the week!

Happy Thursday!

Today, I made great progress moving forward in this project for Archives.

Here is the location of the current tifs, and will be creating a .pdf file for each folder as part of the project. 

Location : Z:\Archives-Scans\Eyerly_Jack

 I mentioned to Sara earlier this week there was a change in my class schedule which changed my worked schedule just a bit. The following schedule should be pretty consistent, but I will post if things are changing again.

Tuesday ~ 9 - 12

Wednesday ~ 2-4

Thursday ~ 3-5

This should stay fairly consistent, but who knows who will throw an impromptu meeting my way. This was a very productive week and hope everyone has a great weekend!

Box 9 Done!

Today, after a minor hiccup in labeling I was able to finish up Box 9 of this series. Tomorrow I will be able to move on to box 10 and keep on moving forward! Side note, many of these documents were quit interesting, including a jog-a-thon donation sign up page a about 10 flyers for trying to stop the Arms Race dated circa 1980s. Interesting subject matters and will continue to look into it.

Feeling Like Fall!** 

This how I woke up this morning to grey skies and possibilities of thunderstorms. No matter, we are trucking our way towards fall and with that comes new beginnings including new projects. Stephanie has me started on a new project for a researcher. A lot of this seems to be old documents kept from years and years ago. I am interested in finding out more through the mix of fliers, correspondence and post cards. Today I worked my way the the majority of the first box, of three. Plan to keep moving forward to the rest of the week!

**I apologize for the late post, I neglected to hit PUBLISH and saw the unpublished post on my browser when I arrived today. Today's post will be up shortly!

Happy almost-Friday, y'all!

Today I was lucky enough to have some extra time to come in and finish up the Helen Keyser projects for  Stephanie. Both books look great and are adorable, so if you are in a fun mood check them out! Next week we move onto a new projects from Stephanie and continue on OCR (without verification). Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Middle of the Week!

Today was a fun day! With all of the back to school photos circling around it was nice to be back in that mindset with today's project! 

Today''s project was an Alphabet Book from Helen Keyser. Each letter has an animal and a fun rhyme! The files are too big for this blog post but here is the file location if you so wish to check some of them out. Highly recommend it! This is super cute and I hope to move to her next sketchbook tomorrow!

Back on Track!

Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend and I know this "No Monday" is definitely throwing me off, hopefully, everything will be back to normal soon! 

I do want to apologize for the late blog post, but on Tuesday especially I will not have time after work to blog and hopefully will be able to fit it into my work time, if not I promise it will be up by the end of that day. 

On a brighter note, I had the chance to start on the projects from Stephanie and was able to get halfway through the project. I was able to scan all slides of the Japanese Garden in its early days (all pictures were beautiful). Then had the opportunity to scan all correspondence and original sketch work. Hope to move to the second project tomorrow!
