| Description: |
Digitized versions of all the scores in the University of Chicago Library's Chopin collection. Users can search or browse the Chopin Early Editions collection via a variety of data points, including titles, genres, plate numbers, publishers and place of publication. Access to individual scores in the digital collection is also available through records in the Library's catalog with links to this Web site. The scanned images of all pages of the scores provide scholars, bibliographers, collectors, performers, and students with new ways to study this collection. Page images were scanned at 400 dpi, 24-bit color with ruler and color bar. Because this is a Special Collections project, all page edges are displayed and scores were scanned cover to cover (with the exceptions of library bindings). Uncompressed TIFF images were saved from Adobe Photoshop and stored on CD as well as in a tape backup system. Intellectual access is supplied from MARC records in the local catalog and WorldCat as well as through the Greenstone software interface accessible on the Internet. Contains digitized images of first and early print editions of musical compositions by Chopin, housed in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Chicago Library. |
