This document discusses the image capture department and four digitization case studies. It describes the department's work streams including strategic digitization with 3 FTEs, collections photography with 1 FTE and 1 contractor, and corporate photography with 2 FTEs. It then summarizes four digitization projects: the digitization of 870 glass plate negatives from 1869-1871 with an outcome of 500Mb files captured over 6 months with 1 FTE; the digitization of 3000 AIDS posters from 1980-2000 with an outcome of 80Mb files captured over 6 months with 1 new FTE; the digitization of 500 fragile Arabic manuscripts from the 12th-20th centuries with an outcome of 70-80Mb files captured over 18 months
