Geotagging Photos at SFO Museum, Part 1 – Setting the Stage

This is the first of multi-part blog post (11 in all!) about geotagging photos in the SFO Museum collection. It’s also a blog post about how we’re doing that work and why we’re taking a longer road than we might otherwise to get there. Over the course of the next couple weeks we’ll post one short blog post a day focused on a specific step, or area of concern, in that process. This first blog post will set the stage and outline some of our motivations for seeing geotagging photos in our collection as a chance to address larger issues in the cultural heritage sector.
