]]> Comment on Medieval/Renaissance food image collection, with thoughts on copyright by blog9fromouterspace http://kmburkholder.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/medievalrenaissance-food-image-collection-with-thoughts-on-copyright/#comment-9 blog9fromouterspace Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:36:00 +0000 http://kmburkholder.wordpress.com/?p=85#comment-9 I love learning about foods and recipes from the past. When I read Victorian novels, some of of the most interesting parts are about the fancy dinner parties or the long, involved cooking process which involved hauling water and coal upstairs because most Victorian homes had the kitchen on the second floor. A few years ago, they had a couple of reality show programs on PBS that simulated life on the prairie during the 19th century, and other times. The people whined and moaned about all the work they had to do because they really didn't seem to realize how hard our ancestors had to work. I would have never made it! My kids' biggest worry is that the cable might go out during a storm. At least I remember life without cable or a microwave! I love learning about foods and recipes from the past.

Through my reading, I have come to believe that there will never be just one, although it seems like a contradiction with the idea of standardization of vocabulary.

]]> Comment on Survey on using JPEG2000 by robbinsville http://kmburkholder.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/survey-on-using-jpeg2000/#comment-3 robbinsville Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:23:25 +0000 http://kmburkholder.wordpress.com/?p=17#comment-3 Not sure if you knew this but when it comes to digitizing photos, it is best to scan the negatives. In my archival internship this summer, the archivist told me that it was the best way to get the true image of the picture. She said that pictures start to degrade and if they are older and you scan them you tend to not get the full effect of the original picture. I know that may not directly relate to your entry but came to mind when I read it. Just thought I would give you a bit of information.
