Cambridge Historical Society

The Cambridge Historical Society will digitize its photograph collection. A digital library will be created consisting of approximately 2,000 high-resolution scans. These images will then be copied and stored in multiple locations. Low-resolution copies of the photos will be made available to the public through the use of the Historical Society’s Web site and Flickr. This project will allow the original photographs to be stored off site in a more secure storage facility. Furthermore, the society’s materials will be made available to a much wider audience.
