Project poster

The Patricia Young Collection (PYC) contains over 10,600 35mm slides that visually document more than one hundred different architectural and archaeological sites from seventeen different countries in East and Southeast Asia. This slide collection will be uploaded to the School of Art + Art History + Design’s in-house MDID digital image database and then entered as compound object records into the University of Washington Library’s Digital Collections repository. The goal of this Capstone project is for the collection to reach a wider audience at the University of Washington and, by extension, researchers worldwide.
