Abstract

This presentation provides background to previous digital projects that were developed to provide richer context and to broaden access to the Waring Historical Library Inaugural Theses collection. As the project manager for a 2015 digitization project, which was funded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine’s Express Digitization Award for the Waring to digitize inaugural theses written on the subject of yellow fever, Samuel discusses the outcome of this project and her development of an online platform to crowdsource the transcription of the theses digitized under the 2015 grant.
