The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) has recently placed online the full text of its thorough and authoritative 183-page handbook for those in museums, libraries, and archives preparing to digitize collections. The covers topics such as considerations for project management, technical and copyright issues, vendor relations, selecting materials for scanning, and guidelines from case studies.
In the mid-nineteenth century the Wisconsin Historical Society's first director, Lyman C. Draper, gathered outstanding materials such as the Daniel Boone papers, which include Draper's interviews with Boone's son, and the papers of Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark. These two collections alone are of vast significance to frontier history before 1830, but the full collection comprises nearly five hundred volumes of records, including military and government records, interviews, Draper's own research notes, and rare personal letters. For scholars, genealogists, and local historians, the Draper papers offer a wealth of information on the social, economic, and cultural conditions experienced by our frontier forebears. The 180-page index lists thousands of names and is an indispensable guide for all who wish to use the collection, which is available in libraries across the country on microfilm.
