Plan of work for extension

Things have taken longer than expected. NHPRC has granted the project a one-year extension. The plan is:

Appendix 1: Time Schedule – Plan of Work

Note: we have 2 Epson scanners. 4 years are being worked on at any one time. Our two permanent staff members are each doing a year, plus the student assistants are working on their own years. Since we have increased the number of hours being spent scanning, we are uncertain how much will be accomplished during the summer months.

As of June 16, 2008 the following years have been scanned:
1825 1827 1828 1829 1830 1831 1832 1833 1834 1835
1836 1837 1838 1839 1840 1841 1842
Parts of 1843 and 1850

1865 1866 1867 1868 1869 1870 1871 1872 1873
1874
Parts of 1875 and 1890
