Newspaper morgue



Dear list members:

I would like to consult with someone on how to handle a large photograph
collection (specifically the morgue) from a major daily newspaper. Before
the photo archivist position was created, many photos from this collection
were assimilated into existing "subject" and "people" collections. But
thousands of photos remain, including many of individuals (ranging from
local to worldwide) and many from the wire services.

Could anyone out there with a similar collection or experience respond to
me off list? Thanks!
