...My grandfather wrote his graduation thesis to become a profesor in Croatian culture and language. The thesis was about traditions of certain area, folks (people) poems and naratives...(I have problems trying to translate it in eng)...
Anyway, I was asked by my relatives to scan this thesis for some local and academic purposes, and I was happy I could help. I just finished the project today. 500 pages. Since it was not a standard size, and I couldn't put this heavy book on a scanner, I used smartphone aplication--- fantastic.
Now, All I have to do would be to read it, to learn some of my family and homeland history and culture. I am not sure this qualifies as summer read for it is pretty archaic, and hand written... In the winter, perhaps...
Lovely photo - really important to keep these records, for both family and social value... I doubt he'd have imagined his granddaughter using such technology to make an electronic version of his book!
That is a phenomenal treasure! You will be discovering a whole new side of your grandfather as you read it. It sounds fascinating! Beautiful capture too.
How amazing to have access to this wonderful vintage document. I really like his penmanship. Something I'm sure the kids of today won't understand. You captured history with your fantastic image. :)
