| This months speaker will be Professor Joshua Grindlay from Harvard University who will be speaking to us about the DASCH: Digital Access to a Sky Century @ Harvard . This project was started over ten years ago when he encouraged Alison Doane, the curator of the Harvard plate collection, to look into the feasibility of digitizing the plate collection. Alison gave a talk to our club about the project which resulted on one of our members, Ed Los, to volunteer his time and expertise to help develop the software for this very important project that will ultimately digitize the entire Harvard plate collection. Another member, Bob Simcoe has been responsible for the development of the hardware, a very sophisticated high speed digitizing machine. This talk will be an update on the status of the project and the results that are already being derived.
Please join us for a pre-meeting dinner discussion at Changsho, 1712 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA at 6:00pm before the meeting. |
