Thanks to
generous donations from Dr. Mary Davidson Cohen, Leawood, Rob and
Trisha Dove, Great Bend, and the estate of Quentin Dressler, The
Library@Barton is the proud owner of a Minolta PS7000 publications
scanner that digitizes books. Our priority is the materials in the
Cohen Center for Kansas History; however, we also intend to digitize
other materials that are important to local and Kansas history.
We will begin with books that are (a) fragile and (b) not under
copyright restrictions. Books which have already been digitized
and are are available open access (free to all) will not be digitized
through the Cohen Project at this time.
In keeping
with the vision of the
Cohen Center for Kansas, the library staff has also created, and
will maintain, a webpage
of links of open access Kansas and Kansas history resources
Here
is the first of the local items that we have digitized:
