30-minute Introduction to Tropy Online

Organize, annotate, and export your archival photographs with Tropy. Among other features, Tropy allows you to attach information to your photos, transcribe or take notes on them, and categorize them using lists and tags. This quick introduction will walk through the software, giving a demonstration of what Tropy can do and the ways it can be integrated into your research workflow.

Attendees will learn how to:

  1. Import, organize, and categorize archival photographs in Tropy using lists, tags, and metadata fields as part of a research workflow.
  2. Annotate archival photographs in Tropy by adding notes or transcriptions and attaching contextual information to individual images or groups of images.
  3. Export a set of archival photographs and their associated metadata from Tropy in at least one available format (such as CSV or PDF) for use in citation, writing, or further analysis.
