chiu-chou/98-99
 The purpose of this project
is to help fund the work of
digitizing Asian language newspapers held in California, and to create and
maintain a web site available to a broad audience. Initial and partial funding for
the pilot project was received from LAUC-Systemwide for 1998-1999. So far,
350 images have been digitized; web design and bibliographical information
compiling are under way. By June 1999, a searchable web site with hundreds of
selected newspaper images will be available online. Digitization is costly, and funding is needed
now to digitize "Chung Sai
Yat Po," a newspaper that has been sited frequently by researchers in Chinese
American Studies and that has a publishing history of over half a century.
The paper will be digitized from microfilm reels by outsourcing the project
to a commercial vendor for professional handling. The result of this project will
be additional digitized images on a searchable bibliographic database on the Internet.
Thereafter, researchers across the country will be able to access digitized
titles and images easily, remotely and electronically. |
