Summary/Abstract: The tendency to digitize and create online archives has recently become more common among cultural institutions. Digitizing collections and crowdsourcing the information bring more benefits to museums and the public because the digital medium facilitates a wider exposure and the circulation of a more consistent body of work. In the same line of practice, the Daguerreobase Project is a conservation initiative to digitally archive daguerreotypes on a large scale.
