New RLG Publication

(The following is an announcement of a new publication from RLG.)

The Research Libraries Group (RLG) has just published PHOTOGRAPH
PRESERVATION AND THE RESEARCH LIBRARY, a 56-page monograph exploring the
many challenges that photograph collections pose to research libraries
and other repositories.  Photographs exist in research collections in
the millions, and the effort to preserve them is a monumental task.

The publication features papers by six experts on photo collections and
preservation.  They are Bernard F. Reilly, Jr., of the Library of
Congress; James M. Reilly, of the Image Permanence Institute and
University of Rochester; Debbie Hess Norris, of University of Delaware
and the Winterthur Museum; Steven T. Puglia, of the National Archives;
Paula De Stefano, of New York University; and Julia Van Haaften, of The
New York Public Library.

The publication is free but there is a charge of $5.00 per copy for
postage and handling (payment must accompany your order).  Please mail
orders to Distribution Services Center, Research Libraries Group, 1200
Villa Street, Mountain View, CA 94041-1100.  Make checks payable to RLG
and specify the name of the publication on your order.
