Project Placement opportunity to help with getting Leeds Historic Photographs online. The project will involve preparing Leeds Museums’ historic photograph and local history image collections for export to the Leodis website (https://www.leodis.net/).
This will include research and identifying content, and cross-checking with images on Leodis to identify images which would be suitable. The project provides valuable experience working with historic collections, digitisation and cataloguing skills, research experience and an opportunity to learn more about Leeds history. This will make more of the museum collections accessible online and help to crowd-source information from the public.
