Tales of a Voyager to the Arctic Ocean (3 vols)

 * This section was archived on a request by: -- Yodin T 10:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Please could someone able to add scans from HathiTrust consider adding the three volumes of Tales of a Voyager to the Arctic Ocean from here. There are scans on Commons, but these seem to have been bulk uploaded, are unused, and very low quality (two volumes from the Asiatic Society of Mumbai {missing vol 2}, and all three volumes via a microfilm scan). Internet Archive only has reasonable quality scans of a later edition. If the balance between amount of trouble to add from Hathi vs. the quality of the scans isn't in favour of adding them, then I'll make a start on the existing ones, but thought I'd ask just in case! -- Yodin T 10:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Yodin: ✅ 1 · 2 · 3Please check the results and tag this section as if appropriate. Xover (talk) 08:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Tagged as resolved. -- Yodin T 10:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Boke of St. Albans

 * This section was archived on a request by: Mpaa (talk) 05:59, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a request for downloading and repair. A copy of Juliana Berners’ Boke is available from here; however, that copy is missing four pages (two leaves), which were reprinted in facsimile here (or here). I would like a PDF or DJVU with the scan of the original with the four missing pages added, please. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 01:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Index:The Theory of the Leisure Class.pdf

 * This section was archived on a request by: Mpaa (talk) 05:59, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Can someone regenerate this as a DJVU and after page 394, there are two pages of advertising that need to be swapped with 395 and 396 that are in the back of the book. IA Link. Many thanks! Languageseeker (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Languageseeker it can be done, but according to the notes at the IA, Inductiveload— talk/contribs 21:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Inductiveload Not worth the extra faff now that it is done. Thanks for taking a look. Languageseeker (talk) 00:12, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Our Forests and Woodlands-1900.pdf
I have no plans in the near future for this, I was just uploading what I could from a finite list. It is, however, stuck somewhere. If a scan-jockey could twang something somewhere....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:09, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * In the case that you would like to make the scan into a DJVU and then twang the scan at commons, I have the pages, in a mixture of jp2 and pbm, "de-googlified" here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jAJTytBvhAsz8hXszdFJ9EZnqApcvlnt/view?usp=sharing The archive is "xz", if you need a "zip" or "bz2" or "gz", just let me know.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:05, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @RaboKarbakian: That link requires a Google login to access. Xover (talk) 19:47, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So sorry! That link should work now!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:13, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @RaboKarbakian: ✅ File:Our Forests and Woodlands (1900).djvu. Please check the results. In particular, check that the order of pages is as expected. Xover (talk) 21:07, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The pagination is off, but the text doesn't notice (pagination misses pages 2 & 3), and all other scans have the same thing, including one scan that really does have missing pages. So, with the exception that I don't know how to mark it for "This text started life with a pagination error."  It is done and looks great! Thank you very much!  (I wonder if the pdf will ever be kicked back into the fray....)--RaboKarbakian (talk) 22:35, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

For Speech to the Mississippi State Democratic Convention
Currently backed to Index:A Mississippi View of Politics, Page 1.pdf and Index:A Mississippi View of Politics, Page 2.pdf. Could be backed to a single, more usable PDF or DJVU from the Library of Congress. Note the “Page 1” scan is from page 2, and the “Page 2” scan from page 3. TE(æ)A,ea.

 * @TE(æ)A,ea. Index:New-York Daily Tribune - 1859-08-31.djvu. I used the JP2 sources so the print is nearly as clear as you can get. The high res tool has also been updated to handle LOC newspapers, so you can load the IIIF tiles directly from the LOC into the page viewer at WS if you want (see User:Inductiveload/jump_to_file if you don't know this tool). The OCR is about as good as you might imagine, but the LOC OCR was no better. The region OCR tool would be perfect for this. Inductiveload— talk/contribs 00:02, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Inductiveload: That tool was very helpful. The speech has now been fully proofread from the New-York Daily Tribune. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:48, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

c:file:Life and death of the Irish parliament.djvu
Can I please get https://archive.org/details/lifedeathofirish00malo/mode/2up upl;oaded as a djvu file. It is one of those ugly butts that picks up the prefixed 0000 scan pages when done via IAUPLOAD tool. Deleted the old copy and the completed book template is collapsed below.
