The Graduate Center Digital Fellows and GC Digital Initiatives would like to invite you to attend upcoming workshops we are hosting: “Tropy: Train the Trainers for Librarians and Archivists” and “Tropy: Train the Trainers for Faculty,” at the Graduate Center, CUNY.

Tropy is an archive photo management tool developed by The Roy Rosenzweig Center For History and New Media with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

In the workshop, participants will learn how Tropy can be used by researchers to organize, describe, and search their photos of primary source materials taken in archives and special collections. Tropy was featured in the April 2018 edition of the AHA Perspectives for its usefulness to anybody working with primary sources.

This workshop is designed to demonstrate new ways of collecting, describing, and organizing images taken of primary source materials in the archive that can be used during the research process. Tropy Outreach Coordinator Megan Brett will be leading a hands-on workshop and demonstration of the tool and how it might be utilized in library, archive, and special collections settings.
