Rural Route Nomad Photo and Video Collection Dataset

This dataset encompasses the metadata drawn from preserving and visualizing the Rural Route Nomad Photo and Video Collection. The collection consists of 14,058 born-digital objects shot on over a dozen digital cameras in over 30 countries, on seven continents from the end of 2008 through 2009. Metadata was generated using ExifTool, along with manual means, utilizing OpenRefine and Excel to parse and clean.

The dataset was a result of an overriding project to preserve the digital content of the Rural Route Nomad Collection, and then visualize photographic specs and geographic details with charts, graphs and maps in Tableau. A description of the project as a whole is publicly forthcoming. Visualizations can be found at https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/alan.webber5364.
