I’m looking for someone interested in working on a historical photo project we’re going to be doing here at TPM. To be clear, this is not a full time or even part time job — more like a couple dozen hours of compensated research a month, which you can do on your own time. The key for this being a good fit is if you’re into or fascinated by historical photographs.
Those might be scenes of everyday life, great Jazz photography, famous portraits, or just amazing photographs that capture the past. The task here is to comb through the many public domain photo archives now digitized and online. And the emphasis isn’t so much on the photography per se, though we want the photos to be striking and beautiful, where appropriate. It’s really the historical nature of the photos that I’m interested in.
You can be a student, retired, or in any kind of job. Doesn’t matter. And you’d be able to do the stuff on your own time, whenever was convenient for you.
If you’re interested, drop me a line at our main comments email address which is talk (at) talkingpointsmemo.com with the subject line “Photo Project”
