Updates

Sarah Burt and I have been scanning the many different copies of the novel in order to upload the paratext (everything not included in the text of the story itself) onto the website.  We have scanned many books on the book scanning machine, nicknamed Bertha, and have many more to go.  We also learned to take field notes of these books, which involves detailed observation.  Ben Ostermeier has taught us, and continues to teach us, the basics of all the programs needed to upload our pictures onto the server and the website.  Katie Knowles and Kayla Smith are renaming the items (paratext) we have uploaded, in order for users to locate them easier on the website.  All the members meet with Dr. DeSpain each week to go over our weekly and overall goals.
