Small Revisions to Blue Book Encyclopedia Entry

On about 10 September I revised the encyclopedia XML file so that the title of the entry about the Blue Book now reads: Walt Whitman's Blue Book (was: Walt Whitman's Blue Book (1968). I also revised the last sentence of the entry, which began "One can now follow Whitman's advice . . . ." It now begins "Both the print facsimile edition and the Whitman Archive online edition now allow one to follow Whitman's advice . . . ." Both changes were proposed by Ed Folsom.

Page "header" to Blue Book page images adjusted

I've implemented a couple of small changes to the text of the title that appears in the grey border over these pages.

Blue Book entry added to the encyclopedia

This entry, by Arthur Golden, was not one of the 80 originally transcribed, so I proofread from the recently received pre-publication file and then added it to the XML file that holds all the selected entries. This was necessary so that I could provide users with the text from the "about" link for the Blue Book on the Leaves of Grass index page.

Links to Blue Book images and encyclopedia entry added from LG index page

I've created a "page flipper" for the Blue Book and added a link to it from the Leaves of Grass index page (under the 1860 edition).

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.
