Preliminaries

Cover of Kraszna's book on Schani Breitwieser In the 1920s Hermann Kraszna, renowned lawyer in Vienna wrote his book Johann Breitwieser. Ein Lebensbild. Today it is long out of print and very rarely available in a library and then, in rather poor condition.

Project

In order to save this source from oblivion we would like to make it available as an e-book. As the book was printed in the old German typeface, we need your help:

We are looking for volunteers that are willing to type page scans and send them back to us.

If you are willing to participate in this project please send us an e-mail. We will send you two double pages to work on. Please follow the instructions further down on this page when working. Also, let us know whether you want to be mentioned in the e-book once it is published.

Thank you in advance!

Example Page

Here is an example scan, so you can get an idea of what work expects you:

Instructions

Please bear the following in mind:

  1. Keep the original orthography.
  2. Do not split words and do not include line breaks in the text.
  3. Separate paragraphs and pages by an empty line. Please do not indent the first line of a new paragraph.
  4. Save the finished document in a common file format (our favourite is .txt) and name it schani + left page on the scan. In our example that would mean schani10.txt
