WEBSTER V I B E S What's Happening in the School of Business? 1853 ARCHIVE PROJECT

The Department of Management Science and Information Systems is currently working on the 1853 Archive Project which consists of digitizing books that SNHU has thatwerepublishedin1853

The books are photographed at the archive section and then resized with Adobe Photoshop. The images are used on the WordPress website for public access (https://1853archive.com), by using the output of Adobe Photoshop as an input to ABBYYFineReader.

This project started as an Undergraduate Research initiative in 2013 by Dr. Susan Cook and archivist Chris Cooper who developed the collection with the goal of providing an opportunity for undergraduates to experience working with rare materials. In 2019, Dr. Liz Henley joined the team along with students to join in digitizing,transcribing,andvisualizingthecollection. Source:1853Archive
