- Abstract
This paper describes the process developed by Binghamton University Libraries to extract embedded metadata from over 350,000 digital photographs and to transform this metadata into descriptive metadata for use in the Libraries' digital preservation system. Most of these images depict campus events, such as Homecoming, Commencement, etc. that are of historical and immediate social value to the campus community. However, owing to volume of photographs, as well as to budgetary and other constraints, it is not possible to have library staff inspect the photographs and create a complete descriptive metadata record for each, so we needed to explore different options.
