Picture Research

Finding visuals for a women’s history project is often a big challenge on two fronts.

First, many of the pictures and historical details of prominent women and seminal events, especially in business, are not readily accessible.

Second, each project has its own particular requirements: a few visuals or a few hundred. Still images only or in combination with film and audio. Extensive copyright searches. Immediate results. Tight budgets. Ideas needing translation into visual specifications. Organization and coordination.

These affect how the research is done.

Ferret applies years of experience to meeting these challenges.

• Access to hundreds of historical archives, both non-profit and for-profit.
• Expertise in searching periodical indexes, collection catalogs, and image databases.
• Expertise in defining the needs of the project and strategies for meeting those needs.
