Pasadena, CA: "City's Historic Photos Go Online"

September 26, 2011 by Gary Price

From the La Cañada Valley Sun:

A group of local cultural institutions has been scanning, cataloging and uploading images of the city’s past to the Internet, creating an extensive online database known as the Pasadena Digital History Collaboration.

The Pasadena Public Library, Pasadena Museum of History, Pasadena City College and Huntington Library so far have placed 4,000 photographs and documents in the collection, all available to the public at pasadenadigitalhistory.com.

In addition to a searchable database, the site features special collections on topics such as the Tournament of Roses and Busch Gardens, the sprawling former winter estate of brewing magnate Adolphus Busch.

[Clip]

“This is about making Pasadena history come alive,” said Pasadena research librarian Martha Camacho, who launched the collaborative in October with a $5,000 grant from the California State Library.

Camacho, 28, started with approximately 600 images, many of which the library already had scanned. But the project really took off when Camacho teamed up with Pasadena City College Dean of Library Services Mary Ann Laun.
