Someone recently loaned our institution a set of negatives containing "Nose Art" images which we scanned. The collections committee is now trying to decide the proper method for handling these kinds of items, as we will surely be getting more and more of this. Do we accession the images? Placing them on a CD with the other photographs. Additionally, Can we accession these, since we were not given the negatives, and only the images are our property? The owner can make as many images as he chooses, and we can say nothing about it. If anyone has any thoughts on this quandary as well as handling digital items as artifacts, I would sincerely appreciate hearing from you.
