The Digital Album : Photo Collection And Organization In FLICKR

Launched in 2004, Flickr.com is among the most popular photo-sharing websites on the planet. A mix of social networking and traditional album creation, Flickr is ideally suited to some of the key functions of family photography - sharing stories and memories, and maintaining social relations. This paper draws links between traditional album creation and social networking, while serving to document actual patterns of use and organizational abilities presented in Flickr in very simplistic ways, 'dumping' their photos online in a way that is reminiscent of how people used to dump printed photos into shoeboxes. A very different group more often found within Pro use accounts, took full advantage of the organizational structures presented in the website, creating complex webs of interconnected sets, tags and groups, while involving themselves in group photo pools and other social aspects of the site.

Fotografia: Grupa polskich studentów i stypendystów. Getynga, lato 1907. Trudne identyfikacje

A Group of Polish Students and Scholarship Holders. Göttingen, Summer of 1907: A Photo. Difficult Identifications The article was inspired by a group photo of twelve young Polish scientists, taken in the summer of 1907 in Göttingen. Some of the men portrayed in it – then still scholarship holders and students – gained worldwide fame a few years later, and almost all of them became famous scientists in pre-World War II Poland. The original of the photo, ref. no. ZF.263, was stored in the Archives of Polish Mathematicians in Sopot and is currently in the Central Mathematical Library of the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBM IMPAN) in Warsaw. This photograph is a valuable memento for the history of Polish science. The article aims to reestablish the actual faces and names connection of the people in the photo since even renowned experts in photography had problems with their proper identification. The text gives examples of publications with a reproduction of the photo ZF.263 (or part of it) where some people are identified incorrectly.
