Hey John,

I would use WordPress and one of the many front-end user submitted posts plugins people have created for all sorts of reasons - social tagging, crowdsourcing content, etc. Here's a quick google roundup:

Subject: [WEB4LIB] building a photograph gathering website

Hi,

We are interested in creating a website that will allow the public to submit historical photographs of our region along with a short description of the photograph. The plan is to make these images available on a searchable website after each image and its accompanying description has been approved by a moderator.

Are there 'out of the box' tools that I can use? Has any organization attempted something similar?

I would appreciate any advice.

Regards
John
