Description: The Charette Digital Project provides web-based public access to a regional architectural journal. Charette (vols. 1-54, 1920-1974) was the journal of the Pittsburgh Architectural Club; and was later co-sponsored by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Pennsylvania Society of Architects. Over the years, its coverage of architecture extended to the whole of Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia. Carnegie Mellon University Libraries holds an extensive run of Charette, and borrowed missing issues from other institutions for scanning. Copyright status was investigated and permissions were acquired as needed. The Charette Digital Project created digital images of each page of Charette including text, photographs, graphics, advertisements, etc. To date, a web site has been created and a test version of the browsing interface is operative; a full-text searching interface is in development. The Charette Digital Project is a project of the Carnegie Mellon University Architecture Archives.
