Summary of Imaging Services Team Projects


Imaging Services acts as a focal point in the Smithsonian Institution for photographic support. Addressing a crucial need within the Smithsonian Institution by providing digital imaging support for annually accessioned objects (referred to as "keep-up" digitization) and for small-scale collections, particularly in smaller museums and departments lacking staff photographers.
