UW Special Collections received a collection from deceased Seattle-area photojournalist Grant Haller in 2018. The collection has high anticipated research value because it documents many instances of activism lead by a variety of underrepresented groups, and fills in coverage gaps of modern photographers at Special Collections. However, very little was known about the condition, specific contents, and preservation needs of the material until this project began, and there was low institutional and public knowledge of the collection’s existence. This project combines several archival competencies—including processing, researching, arranging, preserving, and outreach—to help increase knowledge and future use of the photographs.
