So far the progress in the project has been just scanning letters and working on the contract for the project itself. Research has been interesting so far and just looking at the Transcripts has been very cool along with looking at the letters from Jerome. There was a bit of confusion about whether he was a Cpl. or a Sgt. but we just found out that he was promoted while he was at war. I will be updating weekly about how the progress is going.
How have you been converting your scans from .tiff’s to lower-quality files? A commenter on
my blog told me that they’ve had difficulty figuring that out, so I was wondering if you had any
tips. My group is planning on using Photoshop to convert our scans to .png files.
