Kelly Cannon: Object: Photo. Modern Photographs: The Thomas Walther Collection 1909–1949

This presentation will preview Object:Photo. Modern Photographs: The Thomas Walther Collection 1909–1949, a digital research platform to be launched by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in December 2014.

 Object:Photo will feature dynamic data visualizations, scholarly essays, and detail pages that allow users to flexibly query and filter historical and material research to yield new results about a collection of 341 modern photographs and their creators. The presentation will also place this publication in the context of similar digital humanities projects in the United States.
