As a con­tin­u­a­tion of our series on our 2011 Annual Report, please see a descrip­tion of our work in dig­i­tal projects, con­tent, and delivery:

• Mudd staff con­tin­ued work to increase our dig­i­tal con­tent in FY11. We con­tin­ued a pilot project to dig­i­tize col­lec­tions using our photocopier’s capac­ity to scan directly into PDF files.
• Uti­liz­ing OIT’s Web­space we acces­sioned over 8 GB of elec­tronic records from the Project on Eth­nic Rela­tions Records and made them avail­able via the online find­ing aid for the collection.
• Mau­reen Calla­han inves­ti­gated the Zeutschel imag­ing sta­tion acquired last year and devel­oped image spec­i­fi­ca­tions and work­flow. We hope to imple­ment these rec­om­men­da­tions in the fall.
• Christie Peter­son over­saw the cre­ation of struc­tural meta­data for vol­umes 3–8 of the Trustees Min­utes Dig­i­ti­za­tion Project. Related to this, work­ing with the Uni­ver­sity Secretary’s office and OIT, we began scan­ning 20^th cen­tury Board of Trustees min­utes for ingest into OnBase, which will OCR them. Linke also worked with the Sec­re­tary and President’s office to reduce the restric­tion on the Trustees min­utes from 50 to 40 years.
• The Dig­i­tal Library stu­dio com­pleted the imag­ing of the His­tor­i­cal Pho­to­graph Col­lec­tion: Grounds and Build­ings series (erro­neously reported last year), vol­umes three to eight of the Trustees Min­utes, and Mudd’s Polit­i­cal Car­toon Col­lec­tions, though these images are not yet avail­able online due to the redesign of the Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity Dig­i­tal Library, and, in some cases, the inabil­ity to of the PUDL to uti­lize EAD as a descrip­tive meta­data format.
