Charles Olson's Melville Project
Submitted by Peter Murray on Thu, 2004-12-02 03:32.The University of Connecticut Archives & Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center was awarded $40,000 by the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation in December 2001 to clean and make accessible a series of hand-written but subsequently water-damaged cards produced by the poet Charles Olson during his effort to transcribe the marginalia in hundreds of books owned by Herman Melville. The renovated cards are scanned at a resolution of 600 DPI, then encoded into JP2 files and bundled with an Encoded Archival Description (EAD) XML box, TEI Lite XML box, and a PDF UUID box. Using Aware's toolkit, the images are delivered to the user's web browser through a server-side transformation to JPEGs.
