<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey, that's pretty awesome! I tried doing
something similar using your microfilm collection of JOD's Kanza
stuff for an NEH grant Bob and I had back in 2005. But I got
overwhelmed so quickly by the sheer quantity of slips, and, more
importantly for me and my rather small webhosting package, the filesize of the
slip images. I was thinking something along the lines of, "Let's see, that's
around 1 MB per image, for, what...oh.... SEVERAL THOUSAND images..." But I
see that you were able to reduce your image size to something far more
manageable--looks to be on the order of 0.2 MB or so. That's way better than I
ever got. Still I can imagine that it's quite a lot of work to scan in
each page, crop it two or three times to get individual slips--or zoom way
in with your scanner three times per page--indexing them all in a logical way,
and then building the slip browser page. Looks like you've done a good job,
though.</FONT></DIV>
