Technical Details
Digital Photographs: The MDAH Archives and Records Services Division's Image and Sound section used a Zeutschel hybrid scanner and Nikon D810 digital camera to capture 24-bit RGB TIFF images of the album in September 2015, resulting in some variation in the resolution across images.
Conversion: The Electronic Archives staff used Vips to convert the TIFF files to JPEG tile sets for access.
