The King Island Gallery

My research team (community members and scientists) are trying to tie up this large project funded by the National Science Foundation. It has a long formal name, but I've just ended up calling it the King Island Placenames project. If you want to know more about the project, go to this link:

King Island Placenames project

Alex Nyers, one of our grad students, has just launched a photo gallery of the project. We had over 8,000 digital photographs taken through the course of the project. There were at least 10 photographers, including community members and scientists. The gallery is organized by year of the project and then, either by photographer and/or subject. There's a lot of cool photos of the project, so if you're interested, the site is:

The King Island Photo Gallery

You can search for photo name and also for those photos that we have identified as being associated with certain placenames. We haven't finished that identification process, though, so not all placenames have photos. If you do see a photo and want to tell me what place that is, please let me know! We may eventually have a comment place on the gallery or the interactive web map, so for now, just contact me and let me know.

I know that a lot of community members read my blog ... so please, enjoy the photographs. They belong to KINC.

A huge huge thank you to Alex for creating the gallery template and then manipulating the digital files to make this gallery accessible to everyone.

Oh, and I guess I need to (reluctantly) thank Jimmy Carlisle. He's a royal pain in the butt. But he helped, too. (Jimmy? Are you offended? LOL)

I know I've forgotten someone. Please let me know if I have.
