Behind the Scenes at the Military Police Museum: Digitizing History

摘要

In the past year, Military Police has been the beneficiary of new technology being implemented at the U.S. Army Military Police Corps Museum at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Recent issues have featured newly digitized images of various museum artifacts and historical photos. All Army museums are required by regulations to photographically document their artifact collections either on film or digitally. Recently, museum officials developed a "digitization plan" for military police artifacts and historic photographs, based on research into digital imaging standards established by the National Archives and Records Administration, the Library of Congress, the Getty Research Institute, the Missouri Digitization Project, and others.
