Technical Information

The electronic version of the Guide to the Cataloged Collections in the Manuscript Department of the William R. Perkins Library, Duke University was produced by scanning a printed copy using optical character recognition (OCR) technology. The resulting text was then edited and encoded using the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) SGML standard. The SGML is translated to HTML for standard web browsers and presented by the Digital Scriptorium's Dynaweb Internet Server.

Scanning was done with a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 4c Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder and Caere Omni Page Pro for Windows 95.
