Library Special Collections chose as its first eScholarship project the publication of papers presented at the April 2003 conference. Additional projects can be found on the LSC page at 'Yellowback' Novels from the Michael Sadleir Collection of 19th Century FictionEllen Truxaw, PhD candidate in English and current scholar in the Center for Primary Research and Training led a Flickr tag-a-thon to highlight “yellowback” novels from LSC’s Michael Sadleir Collection of 19 th Century Fiction. Sadleir was a British book collector who amassed an extensive collection of 19 th century British literature during his lifetime. The collection includes over a thousand “yellowbacks,” popular novels from the Victorian era, most of which have covers with rich color illustrations laid over a yellow background.Ellen worked in the CFPRT with two undergraduate students, Gloria Zhang and Angela Kim, to digitize and create metadata that describes the novels and their cover art. Ellen is also conducting in-depth research to provide detailed description of the novels' contents and convey their historical significance in the Victorian era. The team has been posting the images and their descriptions to Flickr in order to promote wider public discovery. They have completed digitization and description of over 1,000 books so far!On October 27, 2015, Ellen led a group tag-a-thon of the digitized 'yellowback' covers.
In the 90 minutes of active tagging, the Flickr site received approximately 49,527 views of the digitized images and all images now have at least a couple of tags each. There are 2,173 digitized covers up, of which approximately 1,100 are from the Sadleir Collection in UCLA Library Special Collections (the rest are part of Emory University’s holdings). You can see the full Flickr collection here:Special thanks to English professor Dr. Jonathan Grossman for conceiving of and spearheading this project!.A project of the Online Archive of California, is a digital collection about ethnic groups in California and the West drawn from the extraordinarily rich resources of the University of California.
Launched in 2004, this virtual collection provides an online resource that serves as the basis for historical studies, analysis, interpretation, and application to current events. Ultimately, California Cultures will consist of 25,000 images and 50,000 pages of text. Collections digitized include portions of the Ralph Bunche Papers, maps showing the distribution of racial groups in Los Angeles, paintings from the Japanese American internment camps, documents pertaining to the Zoot Suit riots, and photographs from the Los Angeles Times archives.Children's literature emerged as a distinct and independent genre only a little more than two centuries ago. Prior to the mid-eighteenth century, books were rarely created specifically for children, and children's reading was generally confined to literature intended for their education and moral edification rather than for their amusement.
Religious works, grammar books, and 'courtesy books' (which offered instruction on proper behavior) were virtually the only early books directed at children. In these books illustration played a relatively minor role, usually consisting of small woodcut vignettes or engraved frontispieces created by anonymous illustrators. This collection includes over 1,800 digitized children’s books, including Goody Two-Shoes (1888), which has been downloaded over two million times through the site.The, is one of the most heavily used of UCLA's Special Collections. The collection consists of approximately 3.5 million photographic negatives and 1.5 million photographic prints documenting events and people in California, the United States, and the world.
The material originates from the Los Angeles Times and includes glass negatives (ca. 1918-1932), nitrate negatives (ca. 1925-45), and safety negatives (ca.
