Reverse Engineering the Image Library: a case study on the feasibility of using deep learning to identify significance in a 35mm slide collection
No full textThe Columbia University Department of Art History and Archaeology holds approximately 400,000 35mm slides, but like other institutions without a master catalog, the collection is tremendously time-consuming to sort, leaving resources to languish in storage. Over the last year, the Media Center for Art History at Columbia University used deep learning and optical character recognition software to detect original photographic images in the 35mm slides collection. Both technologies served to classify images as copywork or an original photo. This project aimed to apply transferable techniques that will enable other collections to partially automate the process of cataloging and identifying significant images to create an open-source, scalable framework for archival discovery across humanities fields. This paper seeks to describe the methods and challenges and make clear the processes investigated. This project was generously supported by a Sparks! Ignition Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Images as Research Data and the Role of the Information Professional
No full textThe goal of this paper is twofold: first to define “research data” in a humanities context through a discussion of the ways in which humanities researchers create and aggregate image collections, and second to address the processes by which academic libraries and information professionals can play an active role in supporting the treatment and perception of images as research data. Much of what the author discusses in this capacity can be applied across the Visual Resources community, regardless of departmental affiliation.
