Several correspondents (James Harcourt, the Heites) have addressed the issue of
photograph curation. Perhaps others knowledgeable in this area might discuss dig
ital
imaging. The rapid development of high quality digital cameras and the prospect
of
preserving those images in digital format is intriguing. Once an image has been
downloaded from camera to computer, the photographer can share that image with p
erfect
resolution through electronic files, slides, prints, or even videographs. One ne
ed only
backup graphic files and periodically review the data to determine whether the
collection should be moved to a new medium.
