DPLA, Europeana Launch Joint Virtual Exhibition Detailing Immigration Connections

by KALAMOS BOOKS

DECEMBER 18, 2012 Digital Libraries / DPLA, Europeana Launch Joint Virtual Exhibition Detailing Immigration Connections DPLA, Europeana Launch Joint Virtual Exhibition Detailing Immigration Connections By Matt Enis on December 18, 2012 Leave a Comment The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and Europeana today announced the official launch of Leaving Europe: A new life in America, a jointly curated virtual exhibition that tells the story of European emigration to the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition includes digitized photographs, manuscripts, broadsheets, paintings, letters, audio, government documents, and other materials from U.S. and European libraries, museums, and archives, curated to describe the experiences faced by different groups emigrating from Europe to the United States. Officials said that the new project helps showcase the potential for ongoing collaboration between the two digital libraries, as DPLA builds toward the official launch of its online portal in April 2013. “By combining forces to show how Europeans began new lives in the New World, Europeana and the DPLA have demonstrated a principle that goes far beyond the immediate subject of their exhibition: to build a successful digital future, we must collaborate on an international scale,” Robert Darnton, DPLA Steering Committee member and Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the Harvard University Library, said in an announcement. “The exhibition inaugurates an alliance that will multiply the benefits of the Internet for generation after generation, everywhere in the world.” Ten institutions worked together to produce the exhibition, which features over 100 rare digitized items, many of which are being made available for the first time. Europeana’s contributing partners included the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the National Gallery of Ireland, the Jewish Museum of London, the Royal Library of the Netherlands, the Saxon State Library and the Norwegian Photo Archives. While DPLA’s contributors included the New York Public Library, Harvard University, The (U.S.) National Archives and Records Administration, and the University of Minnesota Immigration History Research Center. Key components of DPLA, such as its distributed infrastructure and freely available metadata, have been modeled on precedents set by Europeana, which launched in 2008. Europeana now offers integrated access to over 22 million books, films, paintings, museum objects and archival documents from some 2200 content providers throughout Europe. “They’ve done a lot of cool stuff in this space, and this was an opportunity for us to learn from them both with regard to linked open data, freely available metadata under a Creative Commons License, but also more specifically on how to make exhibitions that are interesting and appealing to a large range of people,” Kenny Whitebloom, DPLA project coordinator for Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, told LJ. “They’ve really honed their process in terms of making exhibitions.” Bruno Racine, chair of the Europeana Executive Committee, said that he was “delighted” with the results of this first joint initiative between the two groups, “on an eminently trans-Atlantic subject.” “We share common goals—the free circulation of ideas and knowledge, dedication to the public good, and we believe that the digital revolution opens up unprecedented possibilities for exchanges like this one,” he said in the announcement. -========================= -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal

Catalogue of Greek manuscripts of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at Munich

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bettina Wagner <Bettina.Wagner(a)bsb-muenchen.de> Date: Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 3:34 AM Dear colleagues, another volume of the catalogue of Greek manuscripts of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at Munich has just been published: Katalog der griechischen Handschriften der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek München Band 4: Codices graeci Monacenses 181-265, neu beschrieben von Kerstin Hajdú = Catalogus codicum manu scriptorum Bibliothecae Monacensis, Tomus 2,4 592 pp., 124 ill., 3 tables Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2012 ISBN: 978-3-447-06725-6 In volume 4 of the catalogue of Greek manuscripts of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at Munich, 86 manuscripts are described which belong to the so-called "old holdings" of the Munich Court Library and were acquired between the foundation of the library in 1558 and the year 1803, i.e. before the dissolution of Bavarian monasteries. About the same proportion of manuscripts dates from the Byzantine period and from after 1453 (mainly the sixteenth century), and about 14 % of the manuscripts are written on vellum. 36 manuscripts entered the Munich library from the collection of the Augsburg merchant Johann Jakob Fugger in 1571, while seven volumes were originally owned by the diplomat and orientalist Johann Albrecht Widmanstetter (died 1557). Thirteen manuscripts were acquired in 1583 by Duke Wilhelm V from Andreas Darmarios, eight volumes were looted at Tübingen during the 30-years-war in 1635, and ten manuscripts belonged to the Florentine humanist Petrus Victorius in the sixteenth century. The remaining codices were part of various smaller collections and came to Munich individually. Among the previous owners are Antonio de Covarrubias, Antonius de Massa, Domenico Grimani, Hieronymus Aleander, Petrus Crinitus, Isidoros of Kiev and Hartmann Schedel. Most manuscripts contain theological texts, but works of classical authors are also represented. Occasionally, the codices contain texts on other subjects, e.g. on military science or grammar. For the ongoing project to catalogue the c. 650 Greek manuscripts of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at Munich, see also http://www.manuscripta-mediaevalia.de/info/projectinfo/muenchen-griechisch.… Kind regards, Bettina Wagner _______________________________________ Dr. Bettina Wagner Abteilung fuer Handschriften und Alte Drucke Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Ludwigstr. 16 D-80539 Muenchen Germany email: bettina.wagner(a)bsb-muenchen.de Tel.

Japanese Romanization Table Revision Approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Japanese Romanization Table Revision Approved The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials. Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelflisting, shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman alphabet information. The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM) recently received and reviewed a proposal to revise the Japanese romanization table. The table has subsequently been approved. The revised Japanese romanization table is now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html> http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html . Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and Standards Division (bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov>).
