The Newspapers in Samvera is an IMLS grant funded project to develop newspaper specific functionality for the Samvera Hyrax framework.
The Newspaper Works gem provides work type models and administrative functionality for Hyrax-based Samvera applications in the space of scanned newspaper media. This gem can be included in a Digital Asset Management application based on Hyrax 2.5
This gem, while not a stand-alone application, can be integrated into an application based on Hyrax 2.5 easily to support a variety of cases for management, ingest, and archiving of primarily scanned (historic) newspaper archives.
This gem is currently under development. The development team is actively working on this project and is updating the codebase nightly. We are targeting an initial 1.0 release for June 2019.
A public testing site is available for those interested in testing out the newspaper_works gem. Newspaper Works Demo Site NOTE: The demo site may not be running the latest release of Newspapers_Works.
This gem is part of a project developed in a collaboration between The University of Utah, J. Willard Marriott Library and Boston Public Library, as part of a "Newspapers in Samvera" project grant funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
The development team is grateful for input, collaboration, and support we receive from the Samvera Community, related working groups, and our project's advisory board.
