The goal of the project is to provide enhanced access, including full-text search, for these unique, deeply personal Stanford stories. The project utilizes From the Page technology, which incorporates IIIF interoperability with the Stanford Digital Repository and Spotlight for full-text indexing and searching.
The project is generously funded by the Stanford Libraries’ Treat Grant.
