Re: University Archives Photograph Collections



I would be interested in any answers to this question.  Please reply to the
list.  Our photographs seem to be arranged by topic but that's hard to tell
(authority files were NOT used).  Researchers can browse photocopies of the
images, then I cross my fingers and hope to find the image they want in the
corresponding box (75% success rate).  As soon as I finish the inventory of
the rest of the University Archives I'll tackle the photographs.  I love a
good puzzle.  Thanks for any help,

This is primarily a question for other University Archivists.  We are
beginning to re-organize our collection of University photographs, and
I'm interested to know how people organize their collections.  Topical?
Departmental?  Chronological?  What broad series classifications do you
use?  What would be the most unusual aspect of the organization of your
photo collection?

Direction to online finding aids, digitized collections and other
information would be much appreciated.

If you respond off-list, I'll be glad to summarize.

Many thanks for your advice -- Amy Cooper
