Imaging Pittsburgh: Creating a Shared gateway to Digital Image Collections of the Pittsburgh Region

Written by Edward Galloway, I found this article rather interesting because I enjoy learning about history.

The article discussed most of the challenges met jointly by the University of Pitt Digital Research Library, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Historical Society of Western PA when they received a two year grant to form a digital photo library of 10,000 photographs from the mid-eighteen hundreds through the mid-twentieth century.

Among the challenges were those of communication among the three parties, the selection of the photographs and the meta data challenge to organize the photographs.
