Digitizing Your Photographic Collections

Photographic formats can range from prints to individual slides and negatives to short strips or longer reels. Historically, the glass and metal plates of the 19th century gave way to plastic films in the 20th century. Formats became more standardized, and the stability and longevity of films and prints improved. A film collection spanning even a few years may include several formats that each pose different challenges. So where do you start?

In this webinar, Kelly Barrall, vice president of digitization services at Backstage Library Works, guides you through a range of film formats and offers suggestions on what to consider to get the best results when digitizing your materials.
