Thanks everyone for your responses. I think in a perfect world we would have a works on paper department which gets the art photography. That seems to be what is happening in the bigger art museums. I think part of my issue is this Museum is not just an art museum. In collections storage there are saddles, spurs, wagons, oil paintings, framed photographs, textiles, etc. In archives we are collecting the papers of the artists in our shows, so we have their photographs (good or bad) plus historical photography, negatives/prints of about 5 rodeo photographers, and contemporary museum photography of exhibits, events, as well as the condition images of the collections. So when the curator says - oh the art photography should go to collections storage, I ask why?
