Update to The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens Finding Aid

I have updated The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens Finding Aid, to reflect our style guide. Moreover, I added verso images of manuscripts, and corrected the images for the manuscript "To Other Lands."

Haverford College Finding Aid Removed

The Haverford College Finding Aid for poetry manuscripts was removed, since Haverford College has no Walt Whitman poetry manuscripts.

Blue Book image added; NYPL-Lion EAD updated, part 2

Thanks to Sabrina, I located an image of page 227 from the Blue Book. I've processed the image and uploaded it to the figures directory. I've also revised the EAD to make available the link to the page image.

missing Blue Book images processed, uploaded; NYPL-Lion Finding Guide updated

I have processed and uploaded the missing images for pages 228-239 of the Blue Book to the manuscripts/figures directory and have updated the NYPL-Lion Finding Guide. (The Integrated Guide should ingest these updates within 24 hours.) These images were on a CD that apparently had been overlooked when the other images were processed.

Please note that there is still no image for page 227. I am looking into whether an image for the page was included with the Blue Book scans, and I have not yet located it.

Missing text added to review of Leaves of Grass Imprints

I have filled in some gaps in the text of a LoG Imprints review (http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/leaves_imprints1860/anc.00274.html) based on Ken's reading of the original copy during his recent trip to Brooklyn.

Another typo fixed

I have corrected another typo that Ken spotted in the "Credit" section of the caption to one of our Whitman images (http://whitmanarchive.org/multimedia/image122b.html?sort=year&order=ascending&page=13). The line now correctly reads " Hirshhorn Museum."

Typo fixed

I have fixed a typo on page iv of the 1855 Leaves of Grass ("adn" --> "and").
