Black Quotidian Archive

Black Quotidian: Everyday History in African-American Newspapers, by Matthew F. Delmont, published by Stanford University Press in 2019 has been accessioned into the Stanford Digital Repository. This page serves as the public-facing cover of that archive. The assets in the archive, project content and media files, remain dark while the publication is available in its live version at http://blackquotidian.org. The files will only be made accessible when the live publication is no longer supported by evolving server and browser configurations.

All scholarly textual content is contained in this collection’s Scalar Export file, a JSON data export from the Scalar platform in which the original publication was presented. All media objects are contained in the zipped Project Media file. Assuming a researcher has access to an installation of Scalar 2, they could, using the Documentation, import the JSON file and uncompress the media folder within the book to recreate the original presentation.

For more information about the technical structure of the project, installation instructions, specifications, and user experience, please read the Documentation file, which can be found at the following URL: https://purl.stanford.edu/fc655sf7702.
