digital archives

Hi there,

last year about this time I treated myself to a modern digital SLR. Now I am wondering: How do I organize the several 100s of photos that I made. Shouldn't I be able to do that with Drupal?

I envision that I burn several 100 of images to a DVD and that I have a Drupal install with will keep extra info (mainly tags) about the individual images as well as a pointer to the individual images on the DVD and some sort of key for which DVD the image is on.

Has anybody attempted somethign similar?

The Jewish Women's Archive has launched its first drupal sub-sites (http://jwablog.jwa.org, http://birthday.jwa.org for two that are public) and is looking for help to get to the next level. In particular, this winter we want to convert the main site to Drupal (http://www.jwa.org ). We also have begun to enter the current century with our latest online collecting project (not Drupal), http://katrina.jwa.org.

Most of the current site is written using static html and is entombed in pre-current-century html tables. Over the next couple years we want to standardize the codebase, focusing on a css-only layout, rethink the overall site layout, and add a host of new services on selected sections, starting with geography-based queries (using either the google or yahoo map apis), tagging, comments, and other site personalization.
