We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

prove the most suitable, and that in all probability this process will be one having the two colors on opposite sides of double-coated film. It will be clear that we are still far from the ideal process, in which the negative is taken upon a single sensitive material without the interposition of separate filters, and from this negative prints are made either in the form of transparencies or upon paper, the prints being permanent, bright, transparent, and containing in themselves a perfect reproduction of the colors of the original, approaching at least in accuracy that obtained in a black-and-white print. No process at present in sight, approaches these requirements, but it does not follow that it is impossible to work out such a process, and it may be that at some time in the future we may hope to have color photography available in a form as simple as modern photography in monochrome. 156
