Digital Access: Our Photos on Flickr!

We have taken a small but significant step in creating online access to our photographic treasures. Thirty images from our collections are now available for public viewing on Flickr. We plan to continue adding more images to this site as funding becomes available. Although the service Flickr provides to the public is free, equipment, digital storage, and staff time are not. Digitization of collections is multi-faceted, involving substantial outlays for continuous upgrading of computer hardware, training in digital imaging, technical support, and investment in database systems to catalog and access the images and their extensive documentation.

We thank the Manoogian Simone foundation, the Bilezikian Family Foundation, and the Thomas A. Kooyumjian Foundation for the funding which has brought us to this point in providing digital access. We also thank volunteers Abraham Miller and Dragan Grujic for their counsel in our digitization efforts. We continue to seek funding through foundation grants and private donations to continue with this project.
