Curatorial Issues/Observations

The items digitized by myself for this project were assigned by Professor Maria Esteva. As a student, this is of course to be expected for the learning environment. However, if we were truly in a professional setting and had the ability to provide input on the what collections should be digitized for a particular institution; then I would not have chosen this particular collection for digitization at this point. This collection is not cataloged at this point within the Blanton or UT Library System. Therefore there is no already existing metadata for these items. Should these collections be in fact published on the web, there will be no catalog pointing to the online collection and no other record for accessibility. This may make the visibility of the collection very minute and difficult for UT students and professors to find.
