About the Nazi Occupation of Norway Project

The documents on this site were digitized by undergraduate and graduate students in English 417 courses. The materials were transcribed then verified by two other individuals to ensure accuracy. When a word or letter was unclear, it has been marked as [illegible] or placed in brackets. With the exception of removing hyphens noting a break in a word over a line, the text appears as it does in the original. Page images have been also been made available. This is part of an ongoing project and will be updated as additional materials are completed.

Digitization Standards

These materials are being encoded in XML in compliance with TEI guidelines (P5) under the direction of the Center for Human Rights and Genocide Studies Chief Archivist and Assistant Director, Dr. Crystal Alberts. In order to ensure accuracy and consistency of the electronic edition, the methods of encoding and choice of tags have been explicitly documented within the files and will be incorporated into the editing guidelines.

Images used on this site have been scanned as TIFF files and the master archived. All images conform to the preservation standard of 600 dpi. Copies of the original TIFF files will be modified for web delivery and assigned Dublin Core metadata. Our files conform to the open standards set by TEI and the best practices set by the Digital Library Federation (DLF), as well as the National Information Standards Organization (NISO).

To ensure the persistence and preservation of this project, it is housed on the University of North Dakota Chester Fritz Library servers. Although these files are currently being delivered in XHTML, our intention is to deliver them in fully searchable XML in the future.
