Bracey's Block Maps - Michelle Godfrey, Dec. 5, 2012

Today I finished scanning the Bracey's Block Map book. The second half of the book was in better condition than the first half, so there were fewer torn pages to deal with. This week I found some of the missing fragments for a few of the pages that were scanned last week. These pieces could be put back in place to get a better and more complete image. The most notable change was for page 60 which previously had a large portion missing.

Today I worked on scanning the 1929 edition of Bracey's Block Maps of the City of Houston. The scanning process went really well and I was able to finish about half of the book. The only problems were due to the book's condition. The pages are very brittle and many of them are torn or missing pieces. There were a few times when I could find the loose pieces of a page and fit them back into place, it was a bit like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.
