I'd like to get others' opinions on this. We have a set of microfiche from 1983 called "Fine and Decorative Arts in France: Paintings: Provincial Museums." Published by Mindata Ltd. They are fiche reproductions of sections of the Photographic Archives of the Caisse Nationale des Monuments Historiques et des Sites, Paris. Is it worthwhile to keep this set or has it been fully superseded by digital archives now? We do have a PhD program in art history, so the content may still be of interest, but I know no one is going to use microfiche unless they have absolutely no other options. Your advice will be appreciated! thanks, Karen Bouchard Brown University -- Karen A.
