dc.description.abstractFor this poster proposal, I will be discussing my experience as an Imaging Lead for the Kempner Fund Project at the Digital Projects Lab at the University of North Texas. My role at the lab consists of digitizing, item organization, and doing image quality checks on items from the Kempner project before they are uploaded to the Portal of Texas History. The Kempner Project started in 2017 in partnership with the Rosenberg Library and the Kempner Fund of Galveston, Texas, to establish a digital repository for the Harris and Eliza Kempner Collection on the Portal. The Kempner’s built a large economic base in Galveston dating back to the 1840s, including the growth of the Imperial Sugar Company in Sugarland, Texas. I’ll explore what I have discovered while I worked through three different batches of materials. Since I have scanned hundreds of folders and thousands of images, I have gained experience across various scanners, image quality control methods, improved project management workflows, metadata creation, and team cooperation. During this presentation, I will discuss my workflow process from batch folder creation onto our network drive, scanning, and final checks through the digitization workflow before they get uploaded onto the Portal.en_US
