"I built a tool to convert the scans of historic books into a more accessible format. The tool has three parts: 1) Gather - Downloaded all the constituent PDF files for a specified book into one place, taking care to include any title pages which had a different filename format. 2) Reformat - Converted the PDF files for a specified book into JPG images. 3) Serve - A built-in webserver to package the images with other appropriate assets into a virtual book format, to serve directly to the web."
