Here are a few items of note for digital curation that we had our eyes on this week:

• Last year, an article brought greater public attention to hundreds of photos by African American photographer John Johnson, who made hundreds of still photographs of immigrants and African Americans in early 20th century Lincoln, Nebraska. Now, a Facebook group devoted to training members in colorizing old photos, has taken up a project to bring new life to an incredible set of images.

• Archivists work to document and preserve artifacts and mementos from the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/Preserving-Mementos-From-the-Florida-Shooting-476212353.html.
• Sri Lanka’s National Film Corporation (NF) is organizing an effort to allow film archivists to participate in workshops on digitally in order to preserve endangered film and “preserve and restore Sri Lanka’s cinema productions of yesteryear.” Reports Susitha Fernando, the workshops coincided with an event to screen a restored and digitized version of Lester James Peries‘s film, Rekava (1956).
• Library Journal announced its “Movers and Shakers” for 2018, including Susan Barnum, who is recognized for affecting “millions of people” through editing Wikipedia.
