Adding Content to Cleveland Memory

Tuesday, I began scanning historic images for the Cleveland Memory Project. I took Wednesday off from the library to take care of some other business, but when I return on Thursday, I will continue scanning. The images are from a 1914 (approx.) bound album containing images of the Parrish & Bingham (later, Midland Steel Company) factory on Madison Avenue and West 106th Street. They were most likely commissioned by the company (maybe for insurance purposes) and consist of interior and exterior shots, as well as photos of finished products (they were a major producer of automotive frames), which were probably used for sales purposes. Pretty interesting stuff.

When I’m done scanning, I will be entering the images and metadata into CONTENTdm for inclusion on website, as well as making archival/backup copies.
