Working with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), this capstone focuses on improving accessibility and use of the Governor Rick Perry Press Office born-digital photographs by enhancing collection search capabilities on the Texas Digital Archive. To realize this goal, metadata embedded within the photographs are identified, analyzed, and extracted, then reconciled and normalized to industry standards. The standardized photograph metadata are then uploaded onto the Texas Digital Archive, increasing the platform's text and faceted search capabilities. Along with the improved search efficiency and collection accessibility, this project been designed, managed, and documented to produce repeatable processes for use with future TSLAC and Texas Digital Archive media projects and collections.
