OVERVIEW
Freeze Frame is the result of a two-year digitisation project that brings together some 20,000 photographs of both Arctic and Antarctic expeditions from 1845-1982 from the world-class collections held by the Scott Polar Research Institute in the University of Cambridge. The project is funded as part of the JISC Digitisation programme and is hosted by the University of Cambridge in collaboration with DSpace@Cambridge.
Scott Polar Research Institute Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame offers a case study of how a large number of images can be presented in an accessible way, appealing to a wide audience and building in a range of web 2.0 tools such as Twitter and Digg to encourage interaction with the resource. Detailed catalogue entries are provided for each image and all image captions are taken from original sources, where known. It is also possible to browse through the collection by date, expedition or photographer, or search the content directly.
The project plan sets out details of the approach and technical standards to be used.
