Diriks Family Scrapbooks is a Norwegian digitization project that has tries to preserve some of the scrapbook feel in the interface to the collection. While the site is in Norwegian, and hence I am not sure what the text says, the interface is interesting and, of course, scrapbooks are a less-practiced domestic art that has features we now find in blogs. Does it make sense when digitizing the scrapbook to keep the two-page spread interface? Are scrapbooks and chapbooks similar to blogs? This came from a Humanist post by Espen Ore.
According to Espen, “The project has been further described in Anderson, J., Alistair Dunning,
and Michael Fraser (eds) “DRH 2001 and 2002″, Office for Humanities
Communication Publication 16, King’s College, London.” ( Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 18, No. 138.)
