| dc.description | This item was originally scanned as part of the Cornell University Library New York State Historical Literature Collection which consists of digital surrogates for materials that were part of a joint study involving Digital Preservation between Cornell University and the Xerox Corporation. Begun in 1990, a process was developed where brittle and decaying books were digitally scanned, using prototype equipment co-developed by Cornell and the Xerox Corporation (the CLASS scanner) and stored as 600dpi, bitonal TIFF images, compressed with ITU Group 4 compression, on digital platters on an EPOCH "jukebox" digital server.. Facsimiles of these books were generated and the books were returned to the shelves. The images were available online using specially-developed clients in Unix, MAC and PC platforms. These clients were developed at Library Technology at Cornell University by William Turner III, David Fielding and Chris Stuart. | en_US |

| dc.description.abstract | The Oneida Community was a religious communal society founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 in Oneida, New York. The community believed in "perfectionism" and that since Jesus had returned in 70AD, they were to bring about Jesus's millennial kingdom themselves, be free of sin and perfect in this world. The Oneida Community practiced communalism (sharing property and possessions), including in sexual relations. There were other Noyesian communities in Wallingford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Putney and Cambridge, Vermont. This is a collection of letters from the Syracuse University archives compiled by Mark Weimer. | en_US |
