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.
- Metadata planning workshop: £250
- Ongoing data support: £65/hour
