Sac Photo History Detective

Feb. 27th (Sacramento Room):

Today I continued to play detective in analyzing some early photographs of Sacramento taken in Capitol Park and along K Street.  I also looked at an intriguing photo that seems to be image of a reading room for the Women's Christian Temperance Union in Sacramento.  This internship requires a lot of research on digital collections websites including those for the Sacramento Room, the Center for Sacramento Room, the Online Archive of California, and the California State Library.  I'm enjoying the research that processing and accessioning these photographs require; although at some point I'd also like to have a shot at actually scanning the photos and uploading the metadata online.  Learning a lot more about the early history of Sacramento and the Sacramento Public Library than I ever thought I would :).
