The University of Maryland's College of Information Studies, in partnership with the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, will use a planning grant to support a meeting to develop specific plans for facilitating virtual reunification of dispersed photograph and image collections. The meeting will bring together archivists, technologists, humanists, and other stakeholders, with the ultimate goal of investigating virtual reunification as an additional social and technological service atop the basic aggregations provided by national-scale digital platforms.
