Students are currently in the ZSR Digitization Lab working on the library’s latest digitization project, featuring historic photographs of Wake Forest University’s deep history. Digitization of the University Archives Photograph Collection began in February, and captures images of people, places and events dating back as early as 1881.

Production is being performed on our Epson Expression 10000XL scanners for best image quality. Materials digitized include both photographs and film negatives. Students also use Adobe Photoshop to import the master images from the scanner, as well as create the thumbnail and access derivative files.
