The project is being supported by a grant from the US Department of Education. While working as an archivist, I helped start this ambitious project to digitize and publish 30,000 photos over four years. Images are searchable by the name of the cultural heritage site, objects found in the photo, names of the people represented, and many other metadata tags.”
