Greetings All,
I would appreciate some advice on what kind of images our institution
should keep of objects in the accession files. Currently our
accession files do not include photos, but as we put the catalog
information into Past Perfect and take pictures with a digital camera
to include in the PP database, it seems logical to put copies of
those images in the accession files. Naturally we want those pictures
to be in a permanent format. Do I need to have them printed
professionally? And isn't black and white more stable and long-
lasting than color photographs?
Thank you for the help.
