The following is a list of online cataloging resources for and compiled by archivists working with visual materials. Please feel free to submit additions to this list by sending an email to the current VMCAR chair.
When it comes to cataloging visual materials, I’ve noticed that one of the trickiest parts is making sense of photo sizes. Sometimes what seems like a “standard” format in one place can be totally different elsewhere. I recently had to double-check dimensions and found this explanation of how big is 5x7, which cleared things up for me. Having that kind of clarity makes it much easier to keep records accurate and avoid mix-ups, especially when working across collections with different standards.
For anyone working with visual materials and interested in how images are shared, monetized, or organized online, exploring ClickASnap reviews can offer some useful perspective. The platform provides photographers with tools to catalog and showcase their work, which aligns with many of the concerns raised here about image organization and metadata standards.
