Item Moving from positive to negative : working across disciplines on large photograph digitization projects(2019-11-09) Lemmen, Barbara; Shilstut, Natalie; Starr, Laura Kopp; Taylor, NancyHistoric images are in demand—especially those available for discovery online. At the same time, digitizing large photograph collections can be daunting, particularly when a project involves balancing access and preservation with tight budgets, limited staff, and fragile or deteriorating objects. Outside collaborators can help leverage available resources and increase the effectiveness and reach of the project but identifying and recruiting partners and keeping diverse stakeholders on the same page can be challenging. Panelists will discuss collaborating across disciplines on two large digitization projects, the Religious News Service photographs, 1945-1982 (about 60,000 prints and negatives) and the Los Angeles Department of Public Works photographic materials (about 700,000 prints, negatives, and slides).Item After the Event: Response, Stabilization, and Salvage of Photographic Collections(2019-11-09) Feige, Dyani; Lemmen, BarbaraPhotographic materials have complex structures, specialized needs, and inherent preservation vulnerabilities; salvaging these materials safely after a disaster incident can sometimes be more challenging than salvaging collections that are primarily paper. This workshop will address disaster response with a focus on photographic collections. Presenters will share practical procedures for efficient initial response and stabilization of a disaster scene and will give specific guidelines on salvaging and caring for photographs following a disaster. The session will conclude with a brief, hands-on exercise in which participants will have a chance to witness and practice simulated salvage of photographic materials.Item Papers and Parchments: Understanding, Managing, Promoting Judicial Records(Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, 2017-10-28) Huth, Geof; Tatum, William P III; Folts, Jim"Papers and Parchments" tells the story of large archives projects in New York State carried out by the New York State Unified Court System, the Dutchess County Department of History, and the New York State Archives.
