Project resources
This work for the Kamilari Cultural Association brings together records of the village’s people, photographs, local place names and landscape. The website, photographic archive, genealogy, map and panoramic views are connected parts of the same project.
Photographs and local history
Old photographic prints are scanned, processed and catalogued. Where information is available, the records identify people, the date and place of the photograph, and any account associated with it. Recording that context is part of the work, alongside preparing a digital copy of the image.
The photographic archive uses Piwigo, with photographs and metadata managed through a Lightroom catalogue. Images can be explored through their subjects, people and locations.
People and family relationships
The family trees connect people and their relationships to the village archive. The current genealogy application is GenoRoots, developed so it can also be used by other websites. In Kamilari it connects identified people to the photographs in which they appear.

Place names, maps and panoramas
The map records local place names and provides a geographic way into the material. Historical aerial photographs and maps allow comparisons with more recent imagery. Panoramic views show the village and its surroundings from ground and aerial positions.
The map was developed with Leaflet and PostgreSQL/PostGIS. The website connects these applications so that written accounts, photographs and views of the landscape can be explored together.
