Fortepan.us has applied Local Contexts Notices in its digital photograph archive.

Fortepan.us is an open source archival platform presenting an alternative public history based on snapshots of everyday life. The “digital-first” archive currently has over 15,000 images.

TK and Attribution Incomplete Notices were added to a selection of records in the archive database using the Local Contexts Hub and API. Shown here are screenshots of a photograph in the Fortepan.us database with Notices, and the related Project on the Hub.
