Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

There are many different historical types of visual imagery available in the GRPL Archives. Some collections, such as the GRPL Stereocard Collection, are defined with that particular type of photography in mind. This organization by material type allows for the management of the materials by size, by type of preservation treatments, and also indirectly provides targeted access of age or type of views, such as black and white vs color.

Traditional color photographs produced with film cameras can fade more quickly in some cases than their black and white counter parts. And it is primarily in order to monitor the condition of the color print, as well as to more easily provide color vs black and white images at patrons requests, that Coll. 325 has been created as a sibling to Coll. 054. For those images believed created using a digital camera and printed using a digital process, though they may be color, should be processed for what is currently defined as the Fuji Collection. For those images know to be color laser copies, there is also a separate collector, for the better monitoring of the image, and provisions to researchers.
