For a project last semester I studied a few scrapbooks from the 1920s. I only had one chance to view them, and they were pretty fragile, so I ended up documenting them entirely. I used a digital camera and took a picture of each page…first a wide shot of the whole page, and then some close-ups of anything on the page that was interesting. I ended up saving all the photos on a CD and giving it to the group that owns the scrapbooks, so I guess I inadvertently did some archival preserving for them too.
Anyway, the larger page image was just cropped. I didn’t play with the colors since I wanted to show the age/authenticity of the pages. The second image is a close-up of the yellow ticket on the large page. I made it by copying the large image, zooming or resizing (something like that), and then cropping it.
