Week 5 Muddiest Point

She’s so plastered.

Maybe I just missed it in the reading, but does the collaborative Pittsburgh digital image collection only include “old” photographs—i.e. stuff from before 1960? In twenty years will it be our task as librarians to digitize photographs from 1960-2000? How many of these images will already be digitized? How many photographs may be lost to us by a Flickr account going inactive or an inadvertent Delete? In short, how will already digitized images be put in digital libraries in similar, future collaborative efforts?
