ONE MILESTONE REACHED

DAAHA's dedicated volunteers have reached a milestone and a mixture of excitement and relief permeates the museum galleries. Mif and Paula along with new volunteer Tom have described over 1000 photographs in the museum original collection. These knowledgeable volunteers have recognized the types of plants growing in the fields and the various pieces of equipment used in agriculture. Many times, they were able to describe a process that was illustrated by the photograph.

Each photograph was described on a worksheet. This information will be entered into the collection software program and the photograph scanned to capture an electronic image. Once all of the images are scanned and the information checked for accuracy, it will be posted to the DAAHA website (www.daaha.org) under the collections tab. Anyone will be able to search the photographs by keyword to find certain subjects.


This is an exciting endeavor and the photograph segment of the collection is getting ever closer to being available to the public.
