description: Project to digitise, describe and index all of the photograph
collection. Scanned images were converted to TIFF file format for storage,
compressed using JPEG and stored on the Library's Web server. Description data
for the Hume images was entered into a Microsoft Access database to create a
brief database record for each photographic print and negative digitised, which
can later be expanded into a bibliographic/descriptive record. All words in the
record can be indexed and searched on. The result is a fast, economic image
retrieval system. The outcome of this project is, that the full potential of
the photograph albums, as a resource for researchers, will be achieved. |
