We have "retired," after more than ten years of activity, the Images of the Month Gallery. One of our purposes in presenting the galleries was to highlight parts of the collection not elsewhere represented in NUTRIAS. Now that we have been able to post several thousand images online -- digitized original photographs, photos from publications, maps, Mardi Gras invitations, and more -- there are fewer areas left for us to mine.
We're not getting out of the monthly image business entirely, though. Beginning in 2008, a regular Image of the Month page debuts, on which we will feature an image already available online elsewhere in NUTRIAS or an image that we have previously digitized but not yet posted on the web site. We will endeavor to provide a more detailed description of the image content, and the context in which it was created, than we are generally able to do so when presenting larger groups of digitized material. ENJOY! |
