Digitizing Coast Guard Lighthouse

Kelsey Noel, processing archivist in the National Archives Still Picture Branch, discusses recently digitized 26-LG — a Coast Guard series of lighthouse photographs. The photographs, originally taken by the Lighthouse Board and Lighthouse Service, document a fascinating period of U.S. Lighthouse history as well as the development of photographic technology. We digitize images to increase public access to our nation’s records and preserve them as treasures for future generations. The process of creating digitized photographs is long, interesting, and sometimes difficult, but worthwhile when the images become available online through the National Archives Catalog.
