I'm digitally preserving the Pioneer Family Photo Albums. About one tenth of the collection has been scanned, but the real work is to give each photo a unique identifier so that info and stories can be attached and preserved together as part of a digital file. Then that file can be indexed and searched.
And that’s where you come in. I’m posting these photos here on the “Hodge Podge of Miscellany” Blog with what information I have and I’m hoping you’ll come here and comment on these photos. Although comments like "Cool" or "That sucks" are appreciated, yet disappointing respectively. Any constructive criticism welcomed. I'm hoping for more fact checking and comments that begin with "I remember when..." or "this reminds me of..."
The photo below and the corresponding label from a photo album has the who, what, when that would be included in the metadata, but it tells a rich story as well that needs to be preserved along with the image.
