The page presentation framework of the Booker T. Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

Elliott To John Henry Washington fTuskegee, Ala.] Aug 3 ~ [~89~] Mr. J. H. Washington, Supt Industries: As to the Barn I notice that the plows, wagons &c under the barn are not kept in an orderly systematic manner. They are thrown here and there much as one would see them on an ordinary country farm. This should not be so. Provide a small boy to be kept on the girls' side under the charge of the matron, to clean around the buildings regularly. There is one stove in Annex and two laundry that need to come out. See me about fixing Dr. Dillon's office at annex. ALpS Con. ~o6 BTW Papers DLC. To B. T. Washington
