The NYPL Digital Gallery hosts an exhibition titled Dance in Photographs and Prints, this collection is managed in part by the Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts.
Collection Principles
This collection contains a huge variety of photographs and prints of dancers, including dance instruction guides, portraits of famous dancers, programs from dance performances, and other images. The collection digitized seems limited, however, in the Collection History section of the Web site, they do note that the collection will continue to grow over time.
Object Characteristics
The digital quality of the images is very good, they can be zoomed in on, and the site offers options to resize, buy, or print the image.
Metadata
The metadata related to these images was excellent. In addition to an Image ID and description listed with every image, there is an option to expand on the Image Details. This option provides additional data related to the material, source, location, and further identification information.
