Dartmouth College Photographic Files We are very pleased to announce that the Digital Production Unit has completed imaging all of the photographs in the Dartmouth College Photographic Files Collection. Work began scanning and shooting these photographs in 2012 and was completed in June of 2017. There are 60,300 images available in the Dartmouth Digital Collections, CONTENTdm interface. This collection of photographs, housed in file cabinets in Rauner Special Collections Library, continues to grow and Digital Production will add photos to the collection as they become available. In addition, we will soon be adding a small collection of oversized images. Work continues in Cataloging and Metadata Services to enhance the photo metadata in CONTENTdm. This work should be completed later this year. Other subsequent work includes exporting CONTENTdm metadata and converting it to MODS in preparation for moving the collection to another user interface.
