Aimed at professional and volunteer staff at archives, libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations, this manual explains how to best preserve and use photographs that have historical value. All aspects of photograph management are covered, from appraisal and accessioning through digital conversion and reference work. The focus is on the principle of provenance and the development of systems to organize, preserve, and access whole collections. The appendices cover supplies, workstations, funding sources, general help sources, and learning resources.
