We've done two public conservation projects, but there hasn't been a real cry for making other conservation photography available.

AWM is a great online treasure

I do not have much to offer about what is the best system to manage your photographs. I know that there are very strong user communities around iphoto, lightroom and aperature and they are all trying to develop the best image management system.

I would like to say that the Australian War Museum is one of the most progressive and publicly accessible museums in the world. I would know based on the experience of living in California and being able to access files, photos and help with unpublished archival files. I research individuals and had photographs and documents digitized with little fuss and forms. I only wish that more museums could adopt your methods. I have a sense that a lot has to do with the progressive nature of the privacy rules for WWII and earlier files.

Again, thanks for a great online experience.

Hi,

Take a look at the Glenbow Museum's website (www.glenbow.org), under About Us and then Behind the Scenes. There are several images and accompanying articles about conservation treatments. Relative to the total number of conservation images, these are just a few -- but at least they are out there. (I believe the rest will be linked to the CMS)

I'd be interested to know if something like this is what you are thinking of?
