IntroductionThe purpose of this manual is to articulate the procedures for processing and digitizing photographiccollections at the item level. This manual is applicable after processing and collection-level description iscompleted using the BHS Processing Manual and the BHS Archivists’ Toolkit Manual (located in thep drive).hivesHistory of the photography collection at Brooklyn Historical SocietySAAMuseumArcLike many historical societies and special collections, the photography collection at BHS was donated,sometimes as part of a manuscript collection and sometimes on its own, to the archives. Where in 2011,archivists would never split up collections by medium, 19th and 20th century archivists and librarians at BHSdid this as common practice. In short, photographs were separated from the family papers or collectionsthey visualized and lost valuable contextual and descriptive information. It is the goal of current BHScollection staff to reconnect photographs to the papers with which they arrived in order to reestablish thecontext that the photographs were created or collected by the creator, to make the photographs morevaluable for scholarly research and more accessible through improved cataloging.SoftwareBHS Library & Archives uses Aleph/Bobcat to catalog published works (books, serials, etc.) and maps inpartnership with NYU. For archival collections, BHS uses Archivists’ Toolkit for accession information,location, and description. AT records are currently exported as PDFs and attached to blog posts in Emma,our online access tool for archival collections (http://brooklynhistory.org/library/wp/). BHS usesPastPerfect for item-level description of Photographic and Oral History Collections, Works on Paper, andFine Art. At this time, we scan as much as possible in-house and store it on Archived Digital Assets, ourserver. We do not have a Digital Assets Management (DAM) system at this time.PastPerfect RecordsC:\Users\mes037\Desktop\section 8\BHS Digitization Cataloging Manual BrooklynHistoricalSociety.docL.

INTRODUCTIONPastPerfect is the software application used to manage BHS’s image-based collections, mostly photographsbut also works on paper, postcards, fine art, and oral histories. It includes item level information aboutmost, though not all, of BHS’s various image-based collections. Many of these records include a digitalversion of the original image. Most of the digital versions of the images were made in the 1990s and are72dpi scans. Therefore, it is necessary to rescan each image at current archival specifications.The PastPerfect database is maintained on BHS servers and the front-end application can be launched fromthe library’s desktops and laptops. PastPerfect requires a login name and password in order to access theinformation. Check with your supervisor or the reference desk for login information.ExamplePreliminary Stages:Collection and Series level records can be found in Archivists’ Toolkit (AT). Some of the collectionsidentified for digitization already have digital images uploaded into Past Perfect, but there is only a lowresolution scan and in most cases no master TIF file saved on the server. This digitization project isinterested in not only providing increased access to the public, but to ensure that the digital assets createdare preserved.roupThese are the five main requirements under consideration before digitization of the collection begins:Wor1. No high resolution scan has been made.kingGDigitization Criteria:Section2. If the same collection is being digitized by another institution (e.g., Brooklyn Museum, BrooklynPublic Library), then the selected images for digitization enhance and not duplicate efforts.hives3. We have the right to display and publish this information online.mArc4. The collection has been reunited under a single archival call number (ie. ARC.009), or created acollection-level record for the photographic collection.SAAMuseu5. The collection is already cataloged into AT, and has a resource record. The collection should beunder intellectual control before it is digitized.(*The only exception to this rule is the lantern slides and glass plate negatives, which we plan todigitize with limited intellectual control)Material Types to be DigitizedPhotographs:For photographic formats in particular, it is important to carefully analyze the material prior to scanning,especially if it is not a camera original format. Because every generation of photographic copying involvessome quality loss, using intermediates, duplicates, or copies inherently implies some decrease in qualityand may also be accompanied by other problems (such as improper orientation, low or high contrast,uneven lighting, etc.). (NARA technical guide) Scanning equipment should not harm the photographsthrough overexposure to light or flattening pressures.Negatives (Film):Often it is better to scan negatives in positive mode (to produce an initial image that appears negative)because frequently scanners are not well calibrated for scanning negatives and detail is clipped in either thehighlights and/or the shadows. After scanning, the image can be inverted to produce a positive image. Also,C:\Users\mes037\Desktop\section 8\BHS Digitization Cataloging Manual BrooklynHistoricalSociety.docL.

INTRODUCTIONoften it is better to scan older black-and-white negatives in color (to produce an initial RGB image) becausenegatives frequently have staining, discolored film base, retouching, intensification, or other discolorations(both intentional and the result of deterioration) that can be minimized by scanning in color and performingan appropriate conversion to grayscale. Evaluate each color channel individually to determine the channelwhich minimizes the appearance of any deterioration and optimizes the monochrome image quality, usethat channel for the conversion to a grayscale image.WorkingGroupExampleSlides (transparencies):Scan by using the Epson 10000 XL photo scanner. A sheet can be scanned at a time using the slide holder.Stereoscopic slides do not fit a slide holder, so just place on the flatbed. This is true for older non-standardformats also.*Please remember to remove the white board from the scanner when scanning transparencies. Pleaseask a supervisor if you are not sure how!Transparency: Color or black-and-white film positive, viewed or projected by transmitted light (i.e.,light shining through film). A slide is a 35mm (sometimes larger) transparency in a 2 by 2 inchmount.Positive: The characteristic of having the same tonal values (either black-and-white or color) as theobject originally photographed. Positives can be on paper, film, glass, or other support.Oversize Materials (e.g., maps):Oversize materials can be photographed using a digital SLR camera. Use the digital lab on the mezzaninelevel.ArchivesSectionDigitization EquipmentFlat Bed Scanner:Regular sized photographs, loose documents, transparencies, slides, photographic prints, negatives, andother unbound pages should be scanned using the flat bed scanner (Epson 10000 XL, photo scanner).Scanners have a wide choice of dpi settings, can handle both transmission and reflection materials, andthere is a lower learning curve. The flat bed scanner can accommodate sizes up to 12” x 17.”SAAMuseumDigital SLR camera:Oversize materials, objects, paintings, and other items that are too fragile or large for the flatbed scanner,may be photographed with BHS’ Canon Eos 7D. A digital camera can handle a variety of document/objecttypes (3-D. bound, glass plates, non-flat, and oversized). The digital SLR camera requires a higher skill level.Please refer to the Canon EOS 7D manual for more detailed instructions.(more camera instructions will be added later)Digital Imaging DefinitionsRAW Images:A Raw image is the data output by the image sensor, converted to digital data and recorded on the card asis. With RAW images, you can use software (Adobe Photoshop) to make various adjustments as desiredand then generate a JPEG, TIFF, etc.JPEG images:The JPEG file format is a compressed format, with some loss of quality during compression.TIF images:C:\Users\mes037\Desktop\section 8\BHS Digitization Cataloging Manual BrooklynHistoricalSociety.docL. Loscutoff; Edited by Julie MayPage 56/20/2017
INTRODUCTIONTIF is a flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file. The ability to storeimage data in a lossless format makes a TIF file a useful image archive, unlike standard JPEG files that loseimage quality each time the image is opened.Derivative Images:Derivatives are the workhorse images used for access and reference reproduction, although not as often forpublishing reproduction. When creating digital images in-house, archives can make derivative images fromthe digital master.To review a table summarizing important attributes for eight common image formats in use today, pleaseclick on link mPixel Dimensions:The horizontal and vertical measurements of an image expressed in pixels. The pixel dimensions may bedetermined by multiplying both the width and the height by the dpi. A digital camera will also have pixeldimensions, expressed as the number of pixels horizontally and vertically that define its resolution (e.g.,2,048 by 3,072). Calculate the dpi achieved by dividing a document's dimension into the correspondingpixel dimension against which it is aligned.WorAn 8" x 10" document that is scanned at 300 dpi has thepixel dimensions of 2,400 pixels (8" x 300 dpi) by 3,000 pixels (10" x 300 dpi)ctionBit Depth:hivesSeDetermines the number of bits used to define each pixel. The greater the bit depth, the greater the number oftones (grayscale or color) that can be represented. Digital images may be produced in black and white(bitonal), grayscale, or color.SAAMuseumArcDynamic Range:The range of tonal difference between the lightest light and darkest dark of an image. The higher thedynamic range, the more potential shades can be represented, although the dynamic range does notautomatically correlate to the number of tones reproduced. For instance, high-contrast microfilm exhibits abroad dynamic range, but renders few tones. Dynamic range also describes a digital system's ability toreproduce tonal information. This capability is most important for continuous-tone documents that exhibitsmoothly varying tones, and for photographs it may be the single most important aspect of image quality.C:\Users\mes037\Desktop\section 8\BHS Digitization Cataloging Manual BrooklynHistoricalSociety.docL. Loscutoff; Edited by Julie MayPage 66/20/2017
INTRODUCTIONDigital Imaging DefinitionsCompression:To reduce the image file size for storage, processing, and transmission. The file size for digital images can bequite large, taxing the computing and networking capabilities of many systems.Resolution/threshold:Increasing resolution enables the capture of finer detail. At some point, however, added resolution will notresult in an appreciable gain in image quality, only larger file size.mpleDPI:"Dots per inch", or DPI, is a term that has been around since the invention of the printer, and is a term thatis used to describe the amount of ink used per pixel, or the number of ink dots in each pixel. This meansthat the higher the DPI the greater the quality of the image being printed, although this leads to muchlonger printing times as well as using a lot more ink. An example of this would be printing something at 200DPI is 40,000 dots per inch, cutting the DPI to 100 would equate to just 10,000 dots per inch.kingGroupExaPPI is quickly becoming the new standard though; it stands for “pixels per inch”. This definition has notbeen around as long as DPI, but it is a more accurate term for describing resolution. Cameras and scannersproduce images at PPI larger than most websites will display. Using re-sampling and lessening the PPI,creates a more website friendly image, which is also harder for individuals to copy to their own hard drivedue to low resolution.SAAMuseumArchivesSectionWor* DPI and PPI are sometimes used interchangeably. However, DPI is a print term and PPI is a digital orelectronic term.C:\Users\mes037\Desktop\section 8\BHS Digitization Cataloging Manual BrooklynHistoricalSociety.docL.

Recommended Scanning Standards and SpecificationsIntroduction:The following pages describe step-by-step instructions for scanning. The table of specifications should be used as a guideline for scanning specifications. Most materialtypes that we will digitize are included, but there will sometimes be odd sizes that need you to configure the resolution calculations on your own.Since BHS is an exhibiting institution our master image files need to be at a higher quality. The master files should be scanned at a high enough resolution, so that theoutput size is as large as 16” x 20” and at 300 dpi, or 8” x 10” at 600 dpi.ampleSome Formulas to remember:upExFormula 1 for File SizeFile Size (height x width x bit depth x dpi2) / 8orkingGroFormula 2 for File SizeFile Size (pixel dimensions x bit depth) / 8SectionW1 Kilobyte (KB) 1,024 bytes1 Megabyte (MB) 1,024 KB1 Gigabyte (GB) 1,024 MB1 Terabyte (TB) 1,024 GBArcTotal storage needed # of image files x average size x 1.25hivesStorage Formula:Scanning Formula:SAA300ppi x length (desired print output on longest side)(original image longest side excluding borders)MuseumAlso, you may need to calculate the correct scanning resolution for a 16” x 20” output at 300 dpi.

Recommended Scanning Standards and SpecificationsBefore you begin to digitize a collection it is good to write up a plan beforehand. Some collections will be more complicated than others, so making up adigitization/processing plan will make the process more efficient and streamlined. This plan will be approved by supervisor(s) before the digitization begins.The template below is how to frame the digitization/processing plan.Digitization/Processing plan Template:ample[Collection title, with date range]ExI.

HOW TO SCAN INDIVIDUAL IMAGESScanning Procedures:To start, always keep work area clean. Use a soft cloth to dust off the glass of the document table. Never use glasscleaner directly on the document table. Always spray it on a cloth first and then wipe the glass. Scanners and copyboards will have to be cleaned on a routine basis to eliminate the introduction of extraneous dirt and dust to the digitalimages. Many old documents tend to be dirty and will leave dirt in the work area and on scanning equipment. It is bestto do a once over before each shift. Calibration should be completed monthly. *See pgs. 35-36 for calibrationproceduresScan master files first, and then make two derivatives from the master files. Batch processing may be implemented tomake derivatives. For instructions on batch processing please refer to pgs. .eHow to Scan Individual ImagesExampl1.

HOW TO SCAN MULTIPLE IMAGESScanning Procedures for Multiple Items:If you’re working with photos or film, you can place multiple images on the scanner, and then scan them all at once(instead of one-by-one) with the Epson 10000 XL photo scanner. This will allow you to quickly digitize a larger number ofimages. Smaller sizes can be scanned together (i.e., 5 x 4 photos and 35mm color slides).How to Scan Multiple Images1.

Digital SLR camera : Oversize materials, objects, paintings, and other items that are too fragile or large for the flatbed scanner, may be photographed with BHS' Canon Eos 7D. A digital camera can handle a variety of document/object types (3-D. bound, glass plates, non-flat, and oversized). The digital SLR camera requires a higher skill level.
