Today is the Day of Remembrance, commemorating the day when FDR signed Exec. Order 9066, authorizing the mass incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans.

@InternetArchive & @DenshoProject present the Digital Library of Japanese American Incarceration:

With a grant from the @NatlParkService, we have purchased & digitized 600+ books about the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans, making these often out-of-print books available to researchers, students, @Wikipedia editors & the public.
3/ Ranging from children's books, photo anthologies to scholarly works, the Digital Library of Japanese American Incarceration is among the largest collections of online books about this subject.

The donation by @carlmalamud of his lovingly curated cookbooks, got us thinking. What's in the @InternetArchive's cookbook collections?

The biggest collection is this one, featuring 11,752 books on cooking & home economics:

#Cooking
The oldest cookbook in that collection is by Bartolomeo Scappi (c. 1500–1577), the most famous chef of the Italian Renaissance. Scappi was the personal chef to 2 popes & compiled this 978-page tome of recipes, cooking utensils & menus.

3/ Italy's most famous chef included these meticulous engravings on the ideal 16th c. kitchen, the tools, utensils & operations needed to cook for a Pope.

At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book.

We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way--one page at a time.

#digitalbooks
2/ We use the Scribe, a book scanner our engineers invented, along with the software that it runs.

Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto to the Wellcome Library and beyond.
3/ Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and fix any errors. Then she ships the book back to our Physical Archive for long-term preservation.
