I'm still ruminating over the best way to proceed with this collection, and what subject I want to focus on. So far, I've gathered 15 pictures from Getty Images divided into 5 subjects with 3 images each; namely, sports, books, travel, space (the final frontier variety), and nature.
My initial idea is to create a simple collection of images that might be used as a stock photograph resource for people needing pictures for various projects like blogs, PowerPoint presentations, papers, etc. Obviously, this is not a unique idea, but I don't think this project requires a high degree of originality.
However, it will require a useful and well-organized mechanism to search and tag the collection objects. Tags I've considered at this point include the subject headings listed above, plus a word describing each picture such as Greece, Jordan, baseball, book, stars, elephant, etc.
However, I'm still unsettled concerning my collection choice. I have a strong interest in ancient history, and am wondering whether a collection specific to this topic, and including formats beyond images (such as articles, books, and maps), might not make for a more interesting and meaningful collection. The audience in this case would be people with a similar interest who might peruse the collection to find relevant pictures or recent articles concerning ancient civilizations. Any feedback the reader may care to offer on my collection ideas is greatly appreciated.
