We just completed a successful training session with photographers from the American University in Cairo. They learned the entire process of digitizing books for Arabic Collections Online. This week, we are shipping a camera to them so that they can begin digitizing books and sending them to us for long-term preservation and publication to the ACO Web site.
Here are some images from the camera packing process. It’s quite involved due to the quality, size, and weight of the camera.
Next stop Cairo!
