Digitization Workflows Within Newman Portal
As noted in the February 18 E-Sylum, we've mounted a series of numismatic exhibits in Olin Library at Washington University in St. Louis for the Spring 2024 semester. Included in the exhibit is a video, created by Ian Lanius, Exhibitions Graphic Designer & Preparator, which illustrates digitization workflows utilized at the library to process varying media. We depict examples of multispectral imaging, high resolution scanning, digitization of transparencies, book scanning with facing cameras, and microfilm digitization. This video is displayed without sound, with subtitles walking viewers through the various workflows.
