This is a page I use to track scan requests. If you would like to make a request, add the item which you wish to have scanned in the “Pending” section. I will then try to obtain a copy of the item and scan it; as I do so, I will add notes under each item. Once I have finished scanning the item and notifying you, I will move the scan under the “Finished” section. If you have any questions about a specific item, leave them in a note under your request.

Pending[edit]

  • For EncycloPetey: They Knew What They Wanted (1925), Pulitzer-winning play by Sidney Coe Howard. Hathi copy, with two photographs from the staging of the play. I'm starting to scan-back all the Pulitzer-winning dramas, but very few are available through IA. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: Magnolia (1923), a play by Author:Booth Tarkington—I've been trying to find any script of this play for years. If you can find anything of that sort, I'm indebted to you. It's something I really want access to. SnowyCinema (talk) 00:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: Sorry for not responding sooner. It seems it was published informally by Princeton around the time of its initial run; see here, Folder 09, for (likely final) text. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 12:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: Upstairs, Downstairs (original 1928 version) by Edith Bishop Sherman. All current scans are locked because they're reprints from well after 1928. SnowyCinema (talk) 17:42, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: Ordered. One question: after asking for the missing pages from The Stephenson Family, I got a better scan of the missing pages. Do you want them? (By the way, like the name change.) TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! But, I think I'm good on that work. SnowyCinema (talk) 22:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Beautiful! Thank you! SnowyCinema (talk) 19:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Is this one still on its way? SnowyCinema (talk) 16:04, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
  • SnowyCinema: It just arrived the other day. I will likely not be able to scan it until the 20th or 21st, however. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 17:15, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
  • For EncycloPetey: The Romance of the Rose, by Guillaume de Lorris.
  • For IP (203.206.17.177) (from RT): A Summary of the Evidences of Christianity, by J. Fawcett.
    • Microfilm reel ordered and arrived. Awaiting scan.
  • For Chrisguise: Batrachomuomachia, trans. by H. Price.
    • Scan delivered electronically with page doubling. PDF downloaded, needs manual repair.
@TE(æ)A,ea.: I have the means to manipulate images and PDF's and convert to DJVU, so if you can get the images to me I can do the rest, if it helps (as per George Chapman's Crowne of all Homers Workes) Chrisguise (talk) 04:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Works otherwise completed, but awaiting January 1 for upload (dir. J1to-u)[edit]

  • For Yann: Satyagraha in South Africa, by M. K. Gandhi.
  • For Yann: The Mystery of the Blue Train, by Agatha Christie.
  • For CalendulaAsteraceae: The Masqueraders, by Georgette Heyer.

Finished[edit]

(Well the lines seemed to be pretty obvious, but still would probably be an interesting addition to Commons anyway...) SnowyCinema (talk) 04:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
  • SnowyCinema: Ordered. The office is open now, so things should proceed smoothly; your other requests have been filed. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: Weeds (1923) by Edith Summers Kelley. Certain scans of later versions exist on Google Books but they're all under copyright. Can you find the original 1923 edition? SnowyCinema (talk) 14:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: Order filed. The office is closed until mid-January, however, so it will not be ordered until then. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:37, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: The book has been shipped, it should arrive soon. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 15:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: The book has arrived; I hope to scan it to-morrow. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
      • @TE(æ)A,ea.: Hey, sorry, I was on a Wikibreak so I didn't see these. Did you happen to get "Joyous Things" and Weeds in from that office? I'd like to start working on those if possible. Thanks. (And "to-morrow"—I swear, I thought I was the only one who did this by mistake. Years of being part of this community must do that to us all. That made my day!) SnowyCinema (talk) 03:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
        • SnowyCinema: I’ve been so corrupted by Wikisource that I use “to-day” and “to-morrow” in my text messages, even. As a matter of fact, Weeds and “Joyous Things” did come in; I was going to wait until you came back to upload them. For Weeds, I have two questions. First, the edition I scanned in is a facsimile reprint, so the actual non-text matter is copyright. I scanned in a notice at the end of the book that states (in factual terms) the bibliographical information of the book. Despite the very factual nature of that note, the copyright notice specifically identifies that note as being copyrighted. I’ll leave the decision on that to you. Second, the introduction to the new edition contains an exact reprint of a contemporaneous (1923) newspaper article about the author. I scanned that in as well, so if you’d like that uploaded, I’ll redact the actual text of the introduction and upload a PDF with just the text of the newspaper article. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 04:18, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Was that the only version available to be scanned of this particular novel? I found a few versions online that also were the same—modern reprints. I was hoping that maybe you'd be able to get access to an original version. But this makes me wonder what the actual contents of the note are. Is it possible for you to upload the contents of the current scan/note to the Internet Archive, or email some of it to me? I'd like to look it over.
What I'm fearing is that maybe the publication situation behind the novel is complicated (which maybe the note details). But a reference to this novel in a 1924 work would at least indicate that it was available to critics at the time... What do you think? Were you able to find the 1923 HARCOURT BRACE AND COMPANY version transcribed by Gutenberg? SnowyCinema (talk) 22:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
  • SnowyCinema: While it is a modern reprint, it is a facsimile reprint (from the original types), so the page numbering will be the same. There is no complicated publication history; that is why I thought that the copyright was unnecessary. This is the note: “Textual Note: The text of Weeds published here is an exact photo-offset reprint of the first printing (New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1923). The London publication by Cape was a reprint from the American plates. No emendations have been made in this text. M. J. B.” TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Ah, thanks for providing that! If the facsimile matter is all that's in the scan that should be fine. I can't wait to see it. SnowyCinema (talk) 22:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Thank you, and no worries. I have been really busy myself. But, everything else is good with this work, and once the pages are repaired the work is otherwise proofread, and ready to be processed for Wikisource publication. SnowyCinema (talk) 23:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Done SnowyCinema (talk) 06:24, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: The Road to Monterey (1925), by George W. Ogden. There are missing pages in the only available scan online, so could you please scan pages 18 and 19 and put them in a PDF? Thanks. SnowyCinema (talk) 20:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
    • SnowyCinema: Pages ordered. By the way, in relation to one of your works, I do not remember which one, I saw that one of the author’s works entered the public domain next year. If you have books of that nature that you want scanned, you can ask now and I will scan them, save them on my computer, and then upload them at the beginning of the year. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 23:00, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: Little Elephant Visits the Farm (1941) by Heluiz Chandler Washburne. Books in this series have a lot of colorful images but are ~ 50 pages long or so. SnowyCinema (talk) 01:37, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
  • For SnowyCinema: Keeping the Peace, by Gouverneur Morris.
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Did you say in an edit summary that this has been scanned? If it has, could you please upload it for me? I can have it done within only hours. Thanks. SnowyCinema (talk) 21:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
@TE(æ)A,ea.: Sorry, I didn't see that last comment immediately. But Done; the temp files have been deleted. SnowyCinema (talk) 16:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
  • For EncycloPetey: "Sophocles' King Oedipus: a version for the modern stage", transl. by William Butler Yeats (1928) will enter PD on 1 Jan 2024, and is only a few pages
    • EncycloPetey: I should be able to pick this one up Monday. Once I get it scanned, I’ll put in the list below, and upload it (and notify you) on January 1. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
    • My library said that they had it, but if they do, they didn’t let me see it. I did order it from another library, and have now scanned it. (I hope you enjoy using the score extension.) I’ll add you to the to-upload list below. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 19:16, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
    • EncycloPetey: Now uploaded: PDF. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 00:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Fully proofread now. Thanks.
