DIY: Creating a Digital Archive
Title
DIY: Creating a Digital Archive
Subject
Personal archives
Description
During the research phase of History Detectives investigations, we rely on one tool more than any other: the digital image. We email them to experts, we enlarge them for details, and we use them to avoid handling originals any more than we must. Digital images are also used by the hundreds to illustrate the stories we tell. (Next time you watch an episode, count how many archival photos fly across the screen.) Over the course of eight seasons we’ve compiled a hulking digital archive. It’s invaluable to us, and it can be equally useful to anybody with a collection of old family photos.
