TopFoto is promoting its historical archive with a new home-page feature: A daily dose of imagery from 50 years back. The company is currently digitizing images and captions for 1960—to include a whole day’s production for each day. Customers wishing to work ahead for story leads can search by date.
The images are uncropped and otherwise unedited. “This new standard of digitization reflects TopFoto's commitment to the ongoing conservation of decaying negatives and preservation of the complete image, uncropped and just as it was the day it was taken, for today’s customers and for posterity,” said the company.
