These confuse me a bit--are there full page images for the entire book, or just for the first page?

chirila commented 5 years ago

Looks like some of them are single etchings, but the books are only the title page. So unless it's worth scraping the etchings, it's not worth pursuing at this point. Perhaps, given digitisation of many of these collections are in progress, we should have a "check back in a year" tag?

Amen, that sounds good. So far I've been putting data ideas that need a little more work before they're ready for harvesting into a column named "Data needs work" in this kanban board: https://github.com/YaleDHLab/voynich/projects/1 That said we can totally add a label too!

cool. I was thinking of the difference between data needs work on our side (e.g. available in principle but need to be requested) vs sources that are possibly available in future but not currently

Ah, that makes perfect sense! I'll make a check-up-on-it tag...
