We have posted several blogs over the last several months about our new Community Space digital crowdsourcing projects. One of the new and interesting projects we have launched is our Photo ID Project. 
The Davidson College Archives Photograph Identification Project utilizes “crowdsourcing”–where archives and special collections create opportunities for community members to share their skills and knowledge–to help identify certain photographs in our collection for which we have limited information.
Through this project, we rely on interested members from the Davidson community and the general public to share their knowledge with us online in an attempt to gather details on these bits of Davidson’s past.
Every few weeks, we post 10 new pictures from our unidentified photo files and invite you to look at them and, if you can, help identify the people, places, and events they depict. If you would like to help with the photograph identification project, follow this link and you will be directed to a form in which you can share whatever information you have or just peruse these often unusual photos. A few photos from our most recently posted batch are included here to pique your interest.
