About the Nomad Archives

The Nomad Theatre's new digital archives are being administered by Nick Johnston.

Technical details

To ensure ease of use and expandability for the future, all features of NomadArchives.org are being created using advanced programming techniques. The website that you see here runs off a backbone of programming code. This allows the website to run from an easy to manage folder and file structure.

When new photos are received either via a digital scan of the existing archives, or in digital form from CD or via email, the photos just need to be placed in the appropriate folder. The XML sitemap that you can see to the left then displays that folder amongst the others. When this folder is viewed, another element of the website displays all the photos contained as thumbnails. Larger previews can then be viewed, as can the original resolution photo.

While viewing photo previews, you can also see any stored technical information on the photo, often the camera used, exact date taken and numerous other details.

If you have photos of a Nomad, Young Nomad or Nome event and would like them published on this website, and added to the existing hard copy archives, please contact us or drop into the theatre.
