Preserving Photographs
Harrison Eiteljorg, II
(See email contacts page for the author's email address.)
In the issue of the newsletter for last September was an item (in the Miscellaneous section) conerning 35 mm. slides that might need a home in order to be preserved for future scholars. This issue had come to my mind as I pondered the future of the thousands of slides I had accumulated over the decades of my life in archaeology.
I am happy to report that there is, in fact, a place where such slides can go to be cared for and made available: the Archaeology Data Service in Britain. Please see this page at the ADS site for instructions. Contributors must have the slides scanned and send the scans to the ADS, but the images will be retained there, with an indexing system that will permit them to be found by users.

All articles in the CSA Newsletter are reviewed by the staff. All are published with no intention of future change(s) and are maintained at the CSA website. Changes (other than corrections of typos or similar errors) will rarely be made after publication. If any such change is made, it will be made so as to permit both the original text and the change to be determined.
Comments concerning articles are welcome, and comments, questions, concerns, and author responses will be published in separate commentary pages, as noted on the Newsletter home page.
