Don’t let your field notes or dissertations turn to dust! This workshop is an introduction to scanning text materials to archival specifications and using OCR to generate fulltext. We will be discussing how to care for text-based materials, how to salvage them from sub-optimal storage conditions like dusty bookshelves or untouched file folders, how to scan them according to archival standards, and how to save them so they can be searchable online for years to come.  An excellent workshop for ensuring the future of your past.
