Dear ARLIS Members: Duke University has expanded its advertising image website. For many of us, image research is a major component, including contemporary commercial. I bring this to your attention as a quality, academically produced site. Very special holiday wishes to all, Lee Sorensen Duke University (or "Dook" as UNC spells) ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW WEB SITE: Duke University's Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library is pleased to announce the availability of "Emergence of Advertising in America: 1850 - 1920" (EAA). <http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/eaa/> EAA is an online image database of over 9,000 advertising items and publications and is a collaboration of the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History and the Digital Scriptorium. This image database was a 1998 Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital Library Competition winner. The purpose of the project is to illustrate the rise of consumer culture, especially after the American Civil War, and the early development of a professionalized advertising industry in the United States. The images are drawn from over a dozen separate collections in the Hartman Center and Duke's Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library. The project organizes the materials into eleven categories, including, for example, advertising cookbooks, early Lux ads, J. Walter Thompson Company "house ads" and tobacco promotions. The site includes features such as: TEI-encoded transcriptions of the title pages and tables of contents/indexes for the Early Advertising Publications and the Nicole DiBona Peterson Advertising Cookbook categories; descriptive essays for each category; and, Boolean searching within each category as well as general searching across all categories. These "added value" features are consistent with other Digital Scriptorium projects. The John W. Hartman Center (http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/hartman) at Duke University is one of the nation's pre-eminent programs for the study of sales, advertising, and marketing. The Center's mission is to promote understanding of the immense cultural impact of these fields by expanding its vast collection of textual and multimedia resources and increasing the access to these materials by students, scholars, and businesses worldwide.
