Besides
his targe collection of portrait photos
(6.000!), collected by Major CE
Nygren (born 1874), he was a very productive author of books in local history. (scanning
and publication on Internet of some of his works has just started).
Among
his publications:
"Biografiska anteckningar öfver
lärjungar intagna vid Karlstads högre allm. läroverk
Approx.
"Biographical notes on pupils attending the high-school in

The
first to be scanned is the volume 1850-63,
Example of pages in
the pdf-version.
The
scanning of this first volume is somewhat of a pilot project and it's goal is
to produce a searchable pdf-document.
To
produce this pdf I have used the following /hardware/programs:
- Epson Perfection V750 PRO
- VueScan Scanning in "Text-mode" 300 dpi
- Photoshop CS5 - remove some imperfections
- Scan Tailor Final adjustment - create files for the pdf-production.
- Acrobat X Pro. Create pdf, OCR.
The
result is a PDF approx. 3,7 MB. The original is a 136 page document.
This PDF is now published in the Album
"Karlstads Kommunarkiv" at wermlandsbilder.se and can be regarded as a compliment to the portrait
photo collection also in the same album. (per 20131025 610 pcs).
