One photograph a week: a video pipeline for a museum archive
How we built a weekly video system for the Georgian Museum of Photography on Claude Code, and the two test videos that ask whether AI animation belongs in a museum.
The photographs existed. The connections didn’t.
The Photomuseum archive was organised by photographer. Visitors search by subject. Here is how we are adding themes without breaking the collections.
Scanning is not digitization
A scanned photograph is a file. It becomes part of an archive only once it has structure: who, where, when, and how it connects to everything else.
