Tropy: Managing Research Photographs Online
Tropy is a free, open-source tool that allows historians and other humanities researchers to organize and describe photos of their archival research materials. Through its intuitive user interface, researchers can add metadata to images as well as combine, sort, annotate and edit their images.
This session will cover:
- Basic features and uses of Tropy, including starting a new project, adding and editing photos
- Working with metadata templates
- Organizing items within a project
Attendees should plan download Tropy or update to the current release on their device beforehand and (if possible) have some digitized sources or photos to practice working with Tropy during the session. Attendees also can just follow along if they prefer.
The workshop will be led by Douglas McRae, Postdoctoral Researcher and Outreach Coordinator for Tropy at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (George Mason University).
