Bringing the Past to the Future The digitization of the Historic Photograph Collection of the Public Library of Brookline Digital Commonwealth Annual Conference March 25, 2010

Why Digitize? Preservation of fragile historic photographs Accessibility Demand for scanned images in particular:  Brookline 300 th Anniversary Celebration  Public Library of Brookline 150 th Anniversary  Publication of the Library’s History:  Public Library of Brookline: A History Celebrating 150 Years of Library Service  Requests for images by Town Agencies and individuals

Getting Started Identified the collection, the reasons for scanning, benefits for preservation and access Formed committee with reference staff, library director, trustee Attended conferences, workshops on digital projects to gain knowledge Now what do we do???

Next Steps Selected photographs from notebooks Determined copyright/fair use –who owns the rights to the images? Who will fund the scanning project? Where will the images be stored? Presented our proposal to library director and Board of Library Trustees

Project Approved by Trustees Finalized the selection of 207 images to scan Contacted vendors for pricing Selected vendor Investigated standards for digital images Delivered originals to vendor Received DVD with Master Tiff and JPEG derivatives Created duplicate copy

Metadata Unique identifier (required) Title (required) Creator Subject Description Date (yyyy/mm/dd) Format

Entering Metadata Divided responsibility for entering metadata to 3 reference librarians Metadata entered in spreadsheet Each librarian checked the other entries making corrections/additions as needed Images and metadata excel spreadsheet saved to CD

Excel Spreadsheet

Public Library of Brookline March 25, 2010

Suggestions When proofing entries in the repository we discovered errors in numbering between scanned images and excel spreadsheet. Be sure to double check everything! Be careful to put exact numbers in the metadata excel spreadsheet to correspond with images-punctuation and case count Not all images scanned from glass plate negatives were suitable for inclusion in the project due to cracked glass and/or image degradation When unsure of image subjects know who to contact for assistance—Historical Society, Preservation Commission, reference staff, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, consult the experts
