Allen C. Benson, Doctoral Student, Program in Library & Information Science, School of Information Sciences,
University of Pittsburgh.
My dissertation advisor is Dr. Chris Tomer. My thesis research involves the ontology of the photograph and finding ways to represent the photograph's physical manifestation and image content
in knowledge-base systems. I perform this work with Dr. Scott E. Fahlman, Carnegie Mellon University.
I am also interested in the nature and characteristics of the photograph as a document form and record type. Please
view my recent publication “Killed Negatives: The Unseen Photographic Archives,” in Archivaria Volume 68 (2009).
