The Grundy Archive of the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library announced that its Digital Collections website is now live. Featuring images of Bristol landmarks, institutions, people, services and local businesses, the Bristol History Photograph Collection covers a wide scope of historical topics.
The website is powered by Omeka, an open-source content management system for digital collections. Through this platform, library staff have uploaded digitized photographs from its Bristol History Photograph Collection (over 2,000), as well as panels from past exhibits.
The digitization of these photographs would not have been possible without generous donations from the library’s CanDoMore Archival Digitization Campaign members. Additionally, the descriptions and data for these photographs, as well as their curation and assembly into topical groupings over the years, would not have been possible without volunteers Harold Mitchener and the late Carol Mitchener. They’ve dedicated 23 years of service to the library and archive.
