This document discusses creating a digital archive of photos from the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand to capture the history through crowd-sourcing and community engagement. It provides contact information for Moira Fraser and Ross Becker, who are contributing photos to the archive and exploring new ways to work with digital collections, such as crowd-sourcing to improve archives and understanding user arrangements that support exploring content. The archive is capturing photos on Facebook and Picasa to document the earthquake events.
