Tim and Everyone else,
Here are some resources - undoubtedly there are many more.
It is alos great if you have an in-house photographer in your
institution or know someone with some knowledge - but remember
photographers are like everyone else and defintely have their
preferences - and the requirements for photogaphing museum objects are
vastly different than for other types of photogaphy.
Also, wasn't a museum photography listserve mentioned a year or two
years ago? Does anyone know anyhting about it?
Cheers!
Dave
