vs上宣布历史“松枝”出版物数字化
|
VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 is now home to a fully digitized collection of “The Pine Branch,” a student literary magazine published between September or October of 1917 and May of 1934.
Filled with stories, poetry, editorials, and news written by students of South Georgia Normal College and Georgia State Womans College, each issue of “The Pine Branch” gives readers an intimate glimpse into the racial, ethnic, and gender attitudes of South Georgia during the Progressive Era, women’s suffrage, World War I, and Great Depression. The collection provides first-hand accounts of daily life and attitudes typical of a Southern women’s institution of higher education in the early 20th century and serves as an important research tool for historians and educators.
“We now have online access to the earliest student voices at our school,” shared Deborah Davis, director of vs上 Archives and Special Collections. “Their creative works and the news reflect their time and are a good primary source for history, literature, and women’s studies students, teachers, and researchers.”
Digitizing “The Pine Branch” took about a year to complete and began with vs上 receiving a $4,920 Competitive Digitization Grant from the Digital Library of Georgia, a GALILEO initiative based at the University of Georgia Libraries that seeks to share Georgia’s history and culture online.
vs上 Archives and Special Collections completed the metadata for each of 15 issues of “The Pine Branch.”
乔治亚州数字图书馆扫描完成12期光学字符识别和质量控制服务。 美高梅博彩档案馆和特别馆藏扫描了三份。
戴维斯说，这个项目是由美高梅博彩档案和特别收藏计算机技术人员达拉斯·萨特尔斯和研究生助理梅根·克鲁斯在美高梅博彩学生的一些帮助下推动的。
"I can attest that my students who have worked in vs上 Archives and Special Collections with ‘The Pine Branch’ find the material especially engaging because the articles are products of college students like themselves,” said Melanie Byrd, professor in vs上’s Department of History. “While students may not always identify with history in terms of national trends, big events, and abstract ideologies and worldviews, they do connect with the experiences of other college students. Publications like ‘The Pine Branch’ bring the history of previous eras to life for students in a relatable, humanized manner. 阅读这份出版物也直接生动地说明了人们的态度是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。”
