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.
