Tags

Every image in the archive was catalogued twice over: once against a closed list of 57 subjects, which is what the collection can be filtered by, and once in open keywords describing whatever was actually in the picture. The first is a filing system. The second is 11,672 terms, most of them used only once — which is useless for filtering and is exactly what you want when you half-remember one specific thing.

Subjects

A closed list. Every image was assigned from these and nothing else, so the counts are comparable and none of them is a dead end.

Keywords

The 853 keywords on 8 or more objects. The other 10,819 are on fewer, and are reachable from the objects that carry them or through search.
