DTHS Book Library - Transcription of Titles

 

 The DTHS Library contains many books of general interest as well as a heavy emphasis on local publications. 

All book covers and often index pages have been photographed.

We need transcription of the title,  author and year for each book. 

The easiest way to do this is to:

• open each image on an iMac and 
• select all text on the image (iMac's automatically convert all text in the image), 
• copy the text and 
• paste it into a text file.
• when this is complete, we will embed the text in the image files and
• convert the text to a spreadsheet so that it can be bulk uploaded into Victorian Collections
