Columbia Spectator Archive Project Behind the Scenes Stephen Paul Davis Director, Columbia Libraries Digital Program November 20, 2014

The Plan Partnership between Columbia Libraries / Information Services and the Spectator High quality scanning of original Spectator issues from Columbia University Archives and the Spectator Editorial Offices State-of-the-art text processing (OCR) of scanned images and article segmentation Feature-rich online presentation Permanent, long-term digital preservation

The Players The Spectator staff and board Columbia University Archives Libraries’ Preservation & Digital Conversion Division Libraries’ Digital Program Division Libraries’ Information Technology Division Digital Divide Data (DDD) Brechin Imaging Services Digital Library Consulting (Veridian provider)

Columbia Libraries Digitization Program Digitization Projects (Books, manuscripts, papyri, archives, oral histories, multimedia, etc.)Digitization Projects Digital Exhibitions (See especially: Core Curriculum:CC, Core Curriculum:LitHum, 1968:Columbia in Crisis, Varsity Show)Digital ExhibitionsCore Curriculum:CCCore Curriculum:LitHum 1968:Columbia in CrisisVarsity Show ‘Born-Digital’ & Web Archives (Columbia University, Human Rights Organizations, etc.)‘Born-Digital’ & Web Archives

Digital Divide Data “DDD’s innovative social model enables talented youth from low-income families to access professional opportunities and earn lasting higher incomes. This model, established by DDD in 2001, is now called “Impact Sourcing” and has been implemented by dozens of firms around the world.”

Newspaper Access !? Providing flexible access to newspaper content is complicated and expensive Not cost-effective for single institutions to build custom, newspaper-oriented software Only two major vendors provide software optimized for newspapers DL Consulting’s Veridian is by far the better & most frequent choice for research libraries

Spectator Stats Spectator run from : No. of pages = 127,623 No. of vols. requiring disbinding = ~100 No of vols. unable to be digitized = ~10 NB: Most older volumes contain severely brittle paper; only 24 volumes have flexible paper
