Memories…
Posted on November 23, 2005 at 5:43 pm by jenOn the topic of American memory, I would have to agree with Jackie about it’s disorganization. Even after discussing the search engine in class I had trouble finding what I wanted to find. Although, i found the image format TIFF and it’s possible uses intriguing. It is a good idea to digitize these documents if only for preservation purposes. It is also nice to have access to these original images and enabled to utilize the enhanced information they allow.
The discussion we had for the project got me thinking but I’m still in abstract stages. It will take some investigation, I am thinking along the lines of film or photography archives. If anyone finds anything interesting or useful to get me thinking let me know! Either on here, in class or my email is jparker6@gmu.edu. Or even any interesting directional ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and everyone have a great thanksgiving break!! -Jen-
