Eugene Smith, Larry Burrows, Bill Eppridge, and countless others, from the Second World War through the Cold War and Vietnam, Civil Rights, Equal Rights: it\u2019s the world as seen from the heart of the American Century.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/archive_life_bourke_white_470.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Margaret Bourke-White, LIFE magazine 23 November 1936\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> &#8220;Franklin Roosevelt&#8217;s Wild West&#8221; photographs by Margaret Bourke-White,<\/p>\n<p>LIFE magazine 23 November 1936 as seen on Google Books<\/p>\n<p>The magazine archive offers a different experience than the image archive. The magazine pdfs are obviously scans of physical things.\u00a0 A two-page view allows you to see layouts but at this size the text is difficult to make out.\u00a0 Being able to customize the viewing options is nice but also presents an additional layer of interface decision-making that comes between the viewer and the content.\u00a0 I\u2019m not complaining; I\u2019m glad to see it and I\u2019m sure the user experience will improve over time.\u00a0 But the experience of looking at an oversized magazine on a monitor only highlights the distance between that form of publishing and more recent efforts to present visual information designed for the web.<\/p>\n<p> In the LIFE magazines, we see a portrait of a society\u2019s aspirations, as new social roles are established and change, as new commodities are jigsaw-fit into a world view.\u00a0 Google\u2019s Adwords appear alongside the archived magazine; as you scroll through the pages, the Adwords change to reflect the content of the page.\u00a0 These Adwords display a new array of needs and desires, automatically generated in response to the metadata on the LIFE pages.\u00a0\u00a0 A magazine cigarette ad produces an array of smoking cessation ads.\u00a0 Pictures of students returning to school in 1941 brings out textbook and book publishing ads.\u00a0 There\u2019s an unintended dissonance between old media and new that plays out in Google\u2019s salvo of micro-payment ads.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/archive_life_tobacco_470.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LIFE magazine 17 February 1941\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> Advertisement, LIFE magazine, 17 February 1941 as seen on Google Books<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that this effort is part of Google\u2019s larger effort to make archives freely available, which has been met with resistance by publishers and creators concerned about copyright infringement as well as by competitors troubled by monopolization.\u00a0 A lawsuit involving Google Books and the Authors Guild and the American Association of Publishers is still in settlement and will most likely result in a victory for Google with concessions.<\/p>\n<p> &lt;&gt;<br \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/archive_worldpressarchive_470.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00a9 Eddie Adams on World Press Photo archive\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> &#8220;An armed guard provides both service and security to white Rhodedians on the golf course.&#8221;<br \/> World Press Photo 1978 News Feature First Prize: Eddie Adams (AP)<\/p>\n<p> Another archive has just gone online: World Press Photo has announced an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.worldpressphoto.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">archive of all WPP contest winners<\/a> since the competition began in 1955.\u00a0 The interface is simple and elegant, and information rich.\u00a0 Visitors can search by photographer, year, and category, as well as by nationality, award, and publication. (21 of the winners were made for LIFE).\u00a0 The contest has changed over the years as reflected in the change in categories and in the makeup of the judges.<\/p>\n<p> The contest has occasionally courted controversy as photographers have sought to understand the basis for judging.\u00a0 This curtain was slightly pulled aside last year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/?p=470\">Foto8.com by WPP judges Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin<\/a> , who noted that \u201cIn the tradition of the World Press Photo awards, a photograph that relies on its caption to create meaning is impotent.\u201d\u00a0 The separation of images from text is a strange divorce as Broomberg and Chanarin note, \u201cevery one of the images in the competition would have been accompanied by text in its original context.\u201d\u00a0 Thankfully images are accompanied by substantial caption information.<\/p>\n<p> The pictures stand alone and picture stories are presented as linear sequences, like the slideshows on which they were judged.\u00a0 Stories are told here not as layouts; without layouts we see the pictures in and of themselves, which is what the contest attests to judge.\u00a0 Pictures are rarely ever seen without context, though.\u00a0 World Press Photo recognizes this; the pictures having arrived in this archive by having been recontextualized as contest entries, details about the judging in the year each image won is conveniently a click away.<\/p>\n<p> &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=R1cEAAAAMBAJ&amp;source=gbs_navlinks_s#all_issues_anchor\" target=\"_self\">LIFE magazine archive on Google<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/hosted\/life\" target=\"_blank\">LIFE image archive on Google<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.worldpressphoto.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">World Press Photo archive<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"content\/view\/377\/216\/\" target=\"_blank\">Unconcerned but not Indifferent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leo Hsu looks at two archives that recently went online: Google Books&#8217; archive of the complete run of weekly LIFE magazines and World Press Photo&#8217;s archive of contest winners since 1955.<\/p>\n<div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[19],"tags":[971],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
