Photographers' Identities Catalog

Are you following any podcasts? Any to recommend? There was an interesting suggestion on one of Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems podcasts that I listened to this past week.


Here's the description from the New York Public Library's website. https://pic.nypl.org/

"Photographers’ Identities Catalog (PIC) is an experimental interface to a collection of biographical data describing photographers, studios, manufacturers, and others involved in the production of photographic images. Consisting of names, nationalities, dates, locations and more, PIC is a vast and growing resource for the historian, student, genealogist, or any lover of photography's history. The information has been culled from trusted biographical dictionaries, catalogs and databases, and from extensive original research by NYPL Photography Collection staff."


You can learn about topics relevant to photography, locate photos by a particular photographer, or find information about where and when a particular photographer was in business.
