| Summary |
Drawn
from material held in the John Johnson Collection of printed
ephemera, this was the first major digitization project
at Oxford. It focuses on the 15 boxes of Motor Car ephemera
in the John Johnson Collection, supplemented by 1,000
images of other forms of transport. The images were produced
by means of Kodak's Photo-CD technology: the original
items were photographed onto 35mm slides, and scanned
onto Photo-CD discs. These were then processed to convert
the images to compressed JPEG and GIF images at the various
resolutions used in the system.
