I’m going to be digitizing a lot of sports memorabilia for the next few weeks/months/years and am trying to wrap my head around a few things. While I will do a lot in Lightroom and/or CaptureOne, I need to figure out a way that I can hand back a self-contained set of files that the object owners can see/interact with. It gets even more involved with the idea of exporting items to submit to teams, leagues, or hall of fame orgs.
Products or projects I am aware of so far include Tropy & darktable, and I’ll check out Excire as well. Toss in PhotoMechanic Plus as an option. What else have folks heard of?
Longevity is huge, along with the export with metadata.

They also make a great catalog converter.

To loop everyone in on things I’ve found:
DSpace – https://dspace.lyrasis.org/
Archivematica – https://www.archivematica.org/en/
Atom – https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/
ICA – AtoM – https://www.ica-atom.org/
Archivematica & Atom are from a single entity, and ICA-AtoM has transioned to AtoM. I love the AtoM name – Access to Memory.
The capture is the fun stuff, it’s the metadata and details that link everything together for others to research from.
I need to write up the process I’m going thru & how it comes out.
One client has a large personal art collection done by a deceased family member – some are huge 6’x6′ pieces. Another has a huge sports memorabilia collection. My hope is the efforts on the sports side will allow me access to other holders of memorabilia & then we get into the fun of who has what in what condition.
