Tropy is a free, open-source tool that allows historians and other humanities researchers to organize and describe photos of their archival research materials. Through its intuitive user interface, researchers can add metadata to images as well as combine, sort, annotate and edit their images. Tropy is an indispensable tool, whether you’re just embarking on a new research project or you’re looking for a different way to approach the document images accumulating on your smartphone or hard drive.

In this session, we will explore basic features and uses of Tropy, including starting a new project, adding and editing photos, working with metadata templates, and organizing items within a project. we will also briefly review some more advanced functions of Tropy, namely creating and exporting custom metadata templates and exporting projects.
