- Abstract
This paper discusses various issues associated with photographs. The physical aspects of photographs and the implications in terms of storage and archival treatment are outlined. Digital images and the various programs and research currently being undertaken to resolve the long-term storage and usefulness of such images are discussed. The intellectual issues involved with photographs such as basic techniques for the identification of images, locations of existing collections and an outline of recent changes to copyright rules (due to the Free Trade Agreement) and a guide to the moral rights for photographers are also included.
