Getting your collection ready

Publishing a photography archive takes preparation as well as a platform. Metadata structure, image categorisation, keyword planning is the groundwork that makes a collection genuinely searchable and usable. Our team has supported organisations through this process from the outset, and many continue to draw on that support long after their site has launched.
