George Eastman Museum

The George Eastman House will develop an online Wiki for Expertise in the Evaluation of Photographs. A wiki is a Web site or similar online resource that allows users to add and edit content. The George Eastman House is an authority on the care and evaluation of photographic collections, and this project will expand their pilot wiki project into a larger, comprehensive online resource addressing various elements of photograph appreciation and identification. This information will be freely distributed as a searchable database, and the final product of a dynamic online resource for photography scholars and conservators will provide a model that can be implemented by other organizations.
