[Web4lib] seeking software for putting photographs on the web

[Coleman, Ronald]

Hi, John,

You may want to look at the open-source Greenstone Digital Library software package: http://www.greenstone.org/cgi-bin/library.  Several libraries have used it to create and manage digital photo collections like yours.  See here for examples: http://www.greenstone.org/cgi-bin/library?e=p-en-home-utfZz-8&a=p&p=examples.

Subject: [Web4lib] seeking software for putting photographs on the web

Hi,

We have a collection of old photographs that we wish to display on the
Web.

One difficulty, we are encountering is that when creating thumbnails, we
can standardize the width of the images or the height of the images but
not both.

We would also like to index the collection and make it searchable.

Is there software that will assist us with this? What meta language is
best for indexing photographs?

Regards
John
