Got research photos from archives hiding in the digital abyss of your phone? Join us to master Tropy, the researcher's secret weapon for managing photographs of archival materials. In this hands-on session, you'll learn to:

• Turn photos into searchable items
• Describe your sources with custom metadata
• Organize your research in meaningful collections
• Annotate your photos for better analysis

Tropy “shortens the path from finding archival sources to writing about them,” so you can spend less time hunting through your camera roll and more time developing insights and writing about them! Perfect for students and faculty planning archive visits this summer. This open-source tool, developed by RRCHNM and funded by the Mellon Foundation, is free and continuously improved by its community of researchers.
