- Scope and Content
- As of October 2007 the collection consists of 2,549 JPEG images and a Filemaker Pro file of 2 MB, occupying a total of 788.3 MB of data space. The information in the Filemaker database usually consists of several views of a work of public art, along with information on its location, date of creation, artist?s name, approximate measurements, media used, and subject description. Information thus far has been gathered from synagogues, cemeteries and Jewish community buildings, in towns and cities of all the provinces of Canada, including numerous small communities as well as the major centres. Holocaust memorials are a developing feature of this collection.The data accompanying the photographs was imported from a Filemaker database residing on the donor's computer to a similarly structured database at CJCCCNA. The initial corpus of photographs was donated in increments on 9 CDs, with some supplementary images added by email. Additional data related to the images was donated by Weiser in Excel format or in text form, both of which have now been imported to Filemaker Pro. The entire corpus of images was copied to the CJCCCNA network drive and backed up on a Master DVD.The project is ongoing, with support from the Marvin A. Drimer Foundation.
