NYPL Digital Collection launches!
The New York Times has an article about the library's new digital images gallery. I worked a tiny bit on this. Those who read iPalimpsest regularly might remember when I posted about the Ripley's cigarette cards with a link that didn't work anywhere outside of the library's networks, well, now you can go see what the hell I was talking about! I not sure what the reviewer means by "a few undated typed messages that read like lascivious fortune cookies: 'Grown-ups enjoy reading, also.' 'Come into the booth and ask questions about your libraries.'" What's so lascivious about those messages?
Also, the digital library project that I worked more on than the gallery, was Schomburg's In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience project, which is now on display at the Schomburg library.
