Image Arrangement and Numbering
The pages of each of the five Noble and Margaret Crigler Albums were numbered by the curator. The front covers and all pages were scanned consecutively, front to back. The 506 image files were numbered in the order they were scanned within each volume.
Technical Details
Digital Images: The original scans of the Noble and Margaret Crigler Albums were made by MDAH Image & Sound Section staff in 2023, using Mississippi Department of Archives and History Board of Trustees' approved imaging procedures, following ANSI/AIIM recommended practice. A BookEye scanner captured images of the albums as 400 ppi, 24-bit, RGB TIFF files.
