(The Newberry Library)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<p>In 2009, the Newberry tried to address that challenge with a\u00a0 grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), which allowed the Newberry to meticulously catalog 22,000 pamphlets. As soon as the project was completed, the library witnessed a considerable increase in use of the collection, including frequent on-site consultation and regular requests for digital copies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[That] was a major milestone in making this collection more accessible to many more users,\u201d said Thom. \u201cWe knew, though, that geographic distance was still a significant challenge and it was clear that even deeper access into the full text of the pamphlets was in scholarly demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Digitization turned out to be the ideal solution. So the Newberry teamed up with the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida in a pilot project called \u201cFrench Pamphlet Planning Project: An International Collaboration for Improvement of Collection Access\u201d. By June 2015, they had successfully digitized 1,430 pamphlets through the Internet Archive website.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the subsequent high research activity in that database and the newly acquired knowledge of securely digitizing fragile content, the Newberry started considering a more ambitious plan: processing approximately 510,000 pages worth of French Revolution pamphlets \u2013 the scope of \u201cVoices of the Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to make the collection as widely accessible as possible to researchers around the globe and to open up the full text of the pamphlets for searching,\u201d said Thom. \u201cWith this accomplished, we hope to make new kinds of scholarship possible in the digital research environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Newberry secured a $219,999 grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources to digitize the pamphlets. \u201cVoices of the Revolution\u201d is part of its \u201cDigitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives Program,\u201d sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Together with 17 other projects, the Newberry\u2019s plan is included in the council&#8217;s first cycle of digitization programs.<\/p>\n<p>Louisa Kwasigroch, CLIR\u2019s Director of Development and Outreach, said that the review panel was almost unanimously positive about the Newberry\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey thought that this highly unusual collection of pamphlets would have a huge historical value for not only scholars, but also filmmakers and artists,\u201d said Kwasigroch.<\/p>\n<p>The pamphlets will be digitized on Scribes, the brand name of the\u00a0 scanning stations at the Internet Archive scanning center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A flat work station will be used to take care of foldouts and other larger items. The Internet Archive also plans the addition of a Table Top Scribe, a more portable scanner.<\/p>\n<p>Scribes usually scan 5,000 to 10,000 views per day. Every scanned pamphlet needs to pass two quality controls before it is processed via Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which allows full-text searching of the pamphlet\u2019s content. Finally, the scan is uploaded to the Internet Archive website. Both the Digital Public Library of America and the Newberry\u2019s online catalog will feature links to the pamphlets.<\/p>\n<p>Thom added: \u201cScholars can browse pamphlets by topics, read and flip through the pages using the BookReader viewer, mark items as favorites, share items through social media. Scholars will [also] be able to download the pamphlets free of charge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All downloaded pamphlets must be credited to the Newberry Library and must feature the call number, so other researchers can easily track it down in the database.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVoices of the Revolution\u201d is scheduled to be completed by June 2017.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: An anti-royalist pamphlet applauding the scheduled execution of Louis XVI, ca. 1793.
