Rebecca: Could you post the citation on the list serve? I would like to read the article too.

The institution used an Access database, and collected one set of metadata relating to the original, and another set relating to the digital image, but everything was stored in one database. Let me know if you want me to find the citation for you--I got it through ILL. Rebecca Fitzgerald, CA Archivist & Director, Special Collections Mt.

Traditionally, our Photo Archive has recorded all materials excluding the digital derivative in an archival database and the digital derivative recorded in the artifact database's multimedia component. There is talk of recording image data only in one system. Is anyone else doing this and if so how? We (the artifact side of things) are suggesting we expand our artifact catalogue to support the entry of original image, audio or video formats as an object record and their digital surrogate recorded in the multimedia section of the database. What we are trying to do is ensure the integrity of the database by not mixing apples and oranges. Any and all advise welcome.
