The HTML/CSS for the site was developed by Matt Erker. I came into the project to develop the collection database and search engine. This required building a CMS that allows the client to use their Extensis photo library to manage the collection. I also developed the examples flash section, while the home page flash was developed by Tim Kviz.

This site was featured in a write up in the 2008 Communication Arts Photo annual and was also selected as a Comm Arts web pick of the week.

Coudal has it listed in their "Museum of Online Museums".

TED selected it as one of the "100 sites you should know and use."

It is also recognized by the Library of Congress and Harvard's College Library.
