Digitizing Photographs

In this session, David Joyall, Senior Collections Photographer at the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), discusses how digitizing photographs for preservation requires particular rigor in equipment selection, workflow development, and quality control. This session covers equipment options and digitization workflows, as well as long-term storage of digital files. The intended audience is beginner to intermediate, and the goal is to make digitization of photographic media as accessible as possible. This session was part of the ATALM annual conference held in Temecula, California, on October 8-10, 2019.
