  • Historical Photographs: A County-Wide Organization. Safran, Franciska Archives Cataloging Copyrights History Librarians Library Collections Library Networks Library Role Library Technical Processes Photographs Preservation User Satisfaction (Information) This basic outline for the organization of photograph collections is designed for use by individual agencies as well as by people interested in a cooperative collection organization that can encompass a regional network. The working manual provides organizational techniques for the evaluation of historical, monetary, and other values of the collection; the cataloging and subject classification of individual photographs, photographs in series or in "browsing" groups, and portraits; the physical organization and storage of original or archival prints, negatives, and the records generated for them; and the preservation of archival copies, provision of a user file, and copy print reproduction. The impact of copyright laws on the copying of photographs is briefly discussed. A pilot project tested the validity of these guidelines at the Fenton Historical Society in Jamestown, New York.
