Goals of the Blue Mountain Project Grant, Phase 1

  • National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) Collections and

Reference Resources grant period: Sept. 2012–August 2014.

  • Complete digitization and storage of 34 selected journals

following specified standards; OCR the texts; provide supporting METS/ALTO and MODS records. Mid-July 2014 progress: only 4 titles left to complete by the end of August.

  • Create functioning Web site for the 34 journals (images,

metadata, and text) available via the Veridian delivery system, with multilingual functionality, links to other digital resources, and bibliographic histories (to continue in post-grant period).

  • Sponsored conference Remediating the Avant-Grade: Magazine

and Digital Archives at Princeton University, 25–26 Oct. 2013.

  • Design and pilot the framework for an advanced discovery

interface and analysis toolset (continuing in post-grant period).

  • Promote the Blue Mountain Project among scholars and

librarians.

Technical Aspects of the Blue Mountain Project

  • Technical Guidelines for Digitizing Cultural Heritage Materials, produced

by the Still Image Working Group of the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI), August 2010.

  • Most materials photographed on site in Princeton University Library’s

state-of-the-art Digital Photography Studio.

  • 24-bit RGB image capture, digitally rendered to produce uniform long

dimension of 7,200 pixels, stored as uncompromised TIFF files with large, nonproprietary color profile (Pro Photo RGB).

  • Adherence to standards and practices developed by the NEH for its

National Digital Newspaper Program.

  • METS / ALTO format (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard /

Analyzed Layout and Text Object).

  • MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) encodes metadata about

individual articles, images, and text blocks.

  • TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) for corrections, annotations, and other sorts
  • f amending / augmenting of metadata.
  • Digital image archive presently delivered through Veridian content-

management system (DLC Consulting) pending further development.

  • Big Data storage with Isilon (EMG); images deposited with the HathiTrust.
  • Blue Mountain Project GitHub service hosts XML data for asset sharing

and collaboration.

Related Item Coding Sample from MODS Record

Embedded in the METS file. We “prime” the MODS record for each issue with dates, volume, and issues data. Then docWorks generates a <relatedItem> element for each constituent-level item the

  • perators have marked up in

the issues. These are merged into the initial MODS record upon export of the entire record.

Blue Mountain Project, Phase 2

  • Phase 2 Collections and Reference Resources grant proposal submitted

to the NEH in July 2014 to expand the Blue Mountain Collection. Decision by April 2015.

  • Includes 39 additional titles from Europe, the U.S., and South

America in Catalan, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

  • Specifically music titles include Revue wagnérienne (1885–88); The

Meister: Quarterly Journal of the London Branch of the Wagner Society (1888–95); Die redenden Künsten (1895–97 ), and Zeitschrift der Internationalen Musikgesellschaft (1899–1914).

Blue Mountain Project, Phase 2 and Beyond

  • Expand Blue Mountain’s capabilities with two new toolkits:
  • Blue Mountaineer: Web application for exploring through

visualizations, topic modeling, and other forms of data mining and retrieval.

  • Blue Mountain Springs: XML database framework supporting a suite
  • f Web services to enable users and programs to pose sophisticated

queries against a large corpus of data using eXist-db (a robust, open- source XML database architecture).

  • Other grant pursuits:
  • Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National

Leadership Grant for Libraries

  • NEH Digital Humanities Implementation Grant
  • Form additional partnerships for completing journal runs:
  • Issues or volumes not held by Princeton
  • Missing covers, supplements, advertisements, and pages for issues

already digitized.

  • Our ultimate goal: to digitally reproduce every issue of the journals

as originally published (including specially printings and variants).
