SquinchPix as DH site

SquinchPix sit is an electronic album for the archive of the Europeans images. it is organized in clear simple way, as when you click on the glass and window images you can find a variety pf pictures under this group. when I click on each image, I can find information/ data about the name of this glass and where I can find it in Europe. This principle is applied on all the images appear in this site. Additionally, it shows you the pictures on the google map to make it clear for anyone to recognize the place correctly. and there is the search button if you know what you are looking for you just need to type it, and it will appear.

In term of usefulness of this site, I think it has a beneficial aspect among the DH sites. It is difficult for scholars or people who are interested in knowing the archive of each part on the earth. this site collect the most important and old images and data into one site to document it and save the time and effort for people to find them easier and faster.

Thus,  to made  this materiel accessible to every one anywhere in the world is the kind of dream is all historians working on especially for the archival materials regarding to its value. since different people from different country might be interested in the European archive, this will increase the diversity audiences/visitors of the websites. Students and scholars  anywhere on the planet will be able to explore this materiel, find new learning form.

so if we ask,  what can or does this project do or allow for the traditional print scholarship cannot?

  •  we all know that the archival materials can not be check out from any library, in that case you need to be in library all the time for searching in that worth things.
  • it also difficult to travel all the way to read or search them.

So, in that case making it digitize will help student, researchers, and scholars to reach it easily. The aim is to connect our real life (the places, images) to the digital life. it is a chance to find this amount of images and data under the print of a one finger. The reason of the most DH sites is to make the searching and exploring easier for scholars and interested people.
