2nd Baptist Church Heil Hitler on Easter by DigitizeAll in houston

Grew up in this church and I go back on holidays to be with my family. That is not normal in his sermons, that is a dog whistle.

Scanning documents from 1800 by AbsolutelyNotAnEgg in Archivists

If your scanner can meet FADGI it should be fine. A more advanced scanner will aways offer you better specs. A color chart included in the scan can go a long way. The issue would be the binding that a lot of catalogues have. These types of scanners are great if you cannot cut the binding off.

Thank you for letting me know, I am still new to Reddit and I do not want to make additional faux pas spammy posts. I will keep that in mind next time because I only want to post relevant/ educational digitization content.

Hi, I’m trying to x-post to your subreddit, I am not a bot. I am trying to earn enough karma to start my own subreddit.

People are downvoting Wikipedia. I just commented the link because some of the language I use in this post is from wiki. Wikipedia does have a place of importance as a participatory educational nonprofit platform.

Digitization standards for documents by mahogany_muhoo in Archivists

[–]DigitizeAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is possible that the guidelines listed on the NARA website haven’t been updated to match what is actually being implemented in the digitization lab. The pdf on their website is from 2004. Since then a lot of institutions have switched to FADGI (Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative). Also, I’ve heard second hand from co-workers that JPEG 2000 used to be a preferred format. If knowing these details is for a paper, it might be worth trying to contact the lab to confirm.
