In order to learn more about the past life of the Yangmingshan area, the Yangmingshan National Park Headquarters have organized the 2019 Memories of Yangmingshan Photograph Collection Drive with the intent of using collections of old photographs in creating an authentic representation of the historical Yangmingshan. The Yangmingshan National Park Headquarters also hopes that their efforts in collecting and digitalizing old photographs and preserving written records can prove useful for academic research, archival exhibitions, and other forms of use and reuse.
The photograph collection drive starts today and ends at 5pm on June 30, 2019. Photographs submitted must have been taken between 1840 and 1990 at Yangmingshuwu (formerly known as the Zhongxing Guesthouse) or any other location within the Yangmingshan area. All participants will receive one commemorative souvenir. Owners of winning submissions will receive NT600 per photograph as a reward for the archival use of the pictures. The original photographs will sent back to participants via registered mail after the pictures have been scanned or otherwise reproduced.
