Photograph Collection Study Group

The purpose of this group is to review the photograph collection and to the extent possible, identify the individuals, locations, and dates depicted. Sadly, the Society has over 1.5 cubic feet of unattributed photographs, many showing members and former members. There is felt to be some urgency in their identification, as the members who might know the individuals and places shown grow fewer with the passage of time.
The process This group is to scan the photographspresently dormant, grouping them in such categories as might but may be found helpful, and placing them online at revived by any interested Member by petition to the [[AugustanConvert YahooGroupDean of Studies]]. Members and former members are invited to review the images and contribute to the identification. An opt-in email list is also available. In the process of scanning and organizing the images, efforts will be made toward eliminating duplicates and images of no enduring value (sadly, there are many photos of the Society's cats which may fall into this category—one shot of each cat will be retained). Processed photographs will be put into appropriate storage.
