For the last five months, the Archives Staff has been creating ocr’d pdf’s of all the Jambar Newspapers (1931-present). The first stage of the project was to have all the Jambar Newspapers scanned and put in pdf files. The second stage had the archives staff take the images and apply optical character recognition to each issue: which allows for each issue to be completely searched. Once that was completed, the staff uploaded the images to Dspace for immediate viewing. The third and fourth stages (yet to be finished) of the project will see the creation of tiff images and meta-data, with an in depth abstract analysis, which will be added to each issue on Dspace.
