The City of Bozeman Community Development Department seeks a grant to complete the
Historic Photo Negative Scanning Project. This project entails the scanning of
approximately 3,500 individual 35mm negatives of properties throughout the historic core
of the City of Bozeman, and publish the high-resolution scans on the GIS Architecture
Inventory map, currently available on the city of Bozeman Historic Preservation web page.
The completion of the proposed Historic Photo Negative Scanning Project would be a
significant contribution to the existing documentation of Bozeman's historic resources.
Furthering the city's goal to educate the public and provide opportunistic to engage with

The Historic Photo Negative Scanning project seeks to scan and make publicly available
3,500 individual photo negatives of properties within the historic core of the city. The
resulting digital files will be uploaded to an existing GIS Historic Architecture map
becoming available for the first time to the general public and anyone interested in the
historic built environment of Bozeman.
The collection of negatives that will be scanned are part of a large scale architectural
survey complete in Bozeman in 1983/84. This survey was the genesis of the Bozeman
Historic Preservation program and lead to the creation of 9 historic districts and 45
individually listed properties on the National Register of Historic Places.
The survey created individual paper property cards for each property that was surveyed:
approximately 2,500 in total. These property cards detail the property’s historic
significance and existing condition. Additionally, a determination of “eligible” or “non-
eligible” is listed to determine a properties potential historic status. These paper property
cards are used on an almost daily use in the Community Development office.
For decades these historic property cards were kept behind the counter and only available
by request to the public. This past spring with the help of the City’s GIS department an
online map was created to host the property cards giving property owners, realtors and
anyone interested in the access. You can view the map here:
https://www.bozeman.net/government/community-development/historic-preservation
The existing 1983/84 property cards had a small print of the photo that was taken. At one
point these cards were photocopied with much of the quality of the photos deteriorating
over time. These photo images are important to the planning review for rehabilitation
within our historic core, being able to track changes to a structure over time can help
make decisions about appropriate measures to a property to maintain its historic status.

In order to complete the Historic Photo Negative Scanning Project local vendor F-11
Photo & The Print Refinery will be contracted to complete the bulk scanning and file
organizing effort. F-11 has provided a sample of scanned negatives which are attached to
this application illustrating the quality in comparison to existing property cards.
F-11 Photo specializes in archival photo scanning and is utilized by various organizations
such as Montana State University and the Gallatin History Museum for professional
archiving and restoration services. The requested amount for this grant is a quote
provided by the vendor for a bulk scanning.
Images will be scanned at an archival standard, specifically files will result as a Tiff file
scanned at 2000 DPI, a pixel dimension of 2710x1800, megapixel resolution 4.9, and a
file size of 14mb. This level of scanning is an industry standard and will prove adequate
for the needs of both Community Development staff and the public interested in
Bozeman’s historic resources. A photo of the negative photo collection is included with
this application.

Project Sustainability*
(Describe future plans for this project after the grant work is accomplished; how this project will
benefit the community after the work is accomplished; how or if work will continue on this
project after the grant period is over; etc.)
The Historic Photo Negative Scanning Project is an addition to the larger Bozeman
Historic Architecture Inventory Map. Over time as structures are built, demolished and
properties redeveloped the architectural map illustrates spatially these structures with
survey information, historical background information and the historic significance of the
property.
The access of thousands of negatives resulting from this project would be a significant
contribution to the existing architecture map. The 1983/84 photo collection represents the
most comprehensive photo documentation of the historic core of Bozeman and in an era
of rapid growth within the city the collection will be utilized by Bozeman citizens for years
in understanding a former Bozeman.
