After a lovely holiday break, we here in the Library braved temperatures in the negative 20s this morning to return to work ensuring access to collections for our students, faculty, staff and community. We accomplished some great things in 2017...
We started the year with a little disaster recovery following a flood in the Paddock Music Library
Later in January we collaborated with the art history department and hosted an Islamic-world paper making workshop with Radha Pandey.
This year saw the completion of a major project to conserve a large Antiphonal from Rauner Library...
...As well as the end of a 5 year project to digitize the Dartmouth College Photographic Files Collection.
We had an amazing summer intern, Linnea Vegh, who taught us about Spine Re-Engineering.
And we reflected on the benefits of our summer internship program, both for the interns and for the Library.
In preparation for a large photographic negatives digitization project, we improved our negative digitization workflow, and shared what we learned in the process with our dedicated readers.
Finally, Brian Markee took us on some amazing hikes throughout the Upper Valley.
We hope you keep reading about our adventures here, and check out our instagram feed. Here's looking forward to 2018 and all of the conserving, preserving, recovering and digitizing to come!
