Primary Research Group has published TRENDS IN PHOTOGRAPHY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT, 2011 EDITION,
ISBN 157440-171-8.
This report presents detailed journalistic profiles of nine
major photography special collections from academic, public and special
libraries, government agencies and private enterprise. Collections
profiled include the US Army Military History Institute, St. Andrews University
(Scotland), the US National Archives and Records Administration, the San
Francisco Public Library, Georgia State University, the University of Maryland,
Baltimore, National Geographic, the University of California, Riverside and The
International Center of Photography. The report is designed as a management
tool.
The report probes digitization strategies, copyright issues, fundraising,
preservation, exhibits, archiving, software, staffing, licensing and other
issues of interest to managers of photography special collections in academia,
public libraries, government and industry. The study helps photography collection
managers and developers answer questions such as: how are collections best and
most economically digitized? What is the best way to catalog collections so
they can be found? What are collection managers doing to promote licensing of
their collections? How are they handling fundraising?
