Values of the Photogrammar project:
- Accessibility & Discovery – making both famous and overlooked photographs easy to find and explore.
- Historical Understanding – emphasizing richer context through classification systems and multiple perspectives.
- Public Engagement – supporting not just scholars but teachers, students, and the broader public.
- Exploration & Openness – encouraging curiosity through visually integrated, generous digital interfaces.
Values of the Review on Fine-Art publication:
- Artistic Legitimacy – affirming photography as an art form equal to painting and sculpture.
- Individual Creativity – valuing the photographer’s vision, emotion, and message.
- Cultural Impact – recognizing photography’s historical influence, like the printing press, in reshaping art and society.
- Emotional Resonance – stressing the power of images to evoke feelings, preserve memory, and communicate across experiences.
Relationship to Digital Humanities:
- Both the values of the Photogrammar Project and the Review on Fine-Art Photography align closely with the core values of digital humanities. Photogrammar reflects digital humanities’ emphasis on accessibility, contextualization, and public engagement by using digital tools to broaden discovery and foster exploration of historical images. Similarly, the fine-art photography review underscores creativity, cultural impact, and legitimacy of diverse forms of expression, which resonates with digital humanities’ value of recognizing multiple voices and mediums in shaping cultural meaning. Together, they show how digital humanities values both technological access to knowledge and the humanistic appreciation of art’s expressive and historical significance.
