Although we have not yet examined the issues associated with the type of "picture files" that started this thread, the Visual Resources Association currently has a Slide and Transitional Media Task Force (see http://vraweb.org/about/appointees/) considering mostly 35mm slide collections and how best to evaluate, retain, or deaccession such materials. The first set of recommendations are available here: http://vraweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/VRA_Guidelines_EvaluationRetentionDeaccessioning35mmSlideColls-_2014.pdf We hope to have more resources available soon. If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions about things that would be useful to you, please don't hesitate to contact the new Chairperson of this group, Jacob Esselstrom at the University of Wisconsin [log in to unmask] (Jenni Rodda at NYU/Institute of Fine Arts served as Chair the first year and continues as a task force member) or I would also be happy to answer questions or field suggestions.
