The Alutiiq Museum seeks to improve the care of its photographic collections and develop a plan for future photographic collecting. To meet these goals, the museum will undertake a survey, training, and planning project. We will review our current photographic care and management practices, host on-site training in photographic care for museum staff and community colleagues, facilitate a community meeting on digital archiving standards and resources, develop a plan for a comprehensive photo-care project, and create guidelines for photographic collecting. |
