Project poster

My capstone focused on beginning the preparation of CoCA’s slide collection for digitization as part of an ongoing effort to preserve CoCA’s history through their digital archives project. The slides contain images of exhibitions, artists, performances, forums and other events related to CoCA’s shows. Since CoCA has a large slide collection, the project focused on slides spanning the years 1982 – 1989. Over 1500 slides were viewed and organized into binders according to exhibition, total number of slides, duplicates and number of sheets in each section. The project also included creating an excel spreadsheet connecting the work with CoCA’s archival finding aid.
