This presentation will introduce the storage structure of the Million Book Project and discuss how to
deal with large capacities (about 100TB.) It will also highlight the problems encountered and the plans to solve the problems.
The USC Digital Archive, presented at the 2004 PRDLA meeting, now contains 132,000 publicly available digital images and metadata displayed via a newly designed user interface. The focus remains on the presentation of local, area, state, US and Pacific Rim-related content, searchable across all collections or by individual collection. A recently completed prototype project tested whether efficient, appropriate spatial search tools could be easily integrated into the Digital Archive. The project has resulted in three new services–a clickable map, a gazetteer, and a geocoder—that provide new filters for guiding the identification and selection of content.
Hawaiian language newspapers were published for over 100 years in the Hawaiian Kingdom and into the Territory era. Originally the domain of missionaries and government agencies, independent newspapers began in 1861 and flourished well into the 20th century. These newspapers engaged the entire Hawaiian-speaking population and became the repository for public discourse and cultural knowledge of the Hawaiians throughout that era. This many-faceted resource remained largely inaccessible until recent changes in digital technology opened new possibilities and generated intense interest.
