Digitization
In 2017, a project was done in collaboration with the California Digital Library in which a selection of 5,933 images from the Jay Kay Klein photograph collection were digitized and made available on Calisphere. Feedback was solicited from the community to assist in identifying the images. A second project took place in 2020-2021 to incorporate this community feedback, make further identifications, add more descriptions, and enhance the metadata for these images. The updated metadata and descriptions were published in September 2021.
