Dear List,

My director just called and told me I had an unexpected 6-7 thousand dollars to purchase needed equipment and supplies. I am primarily the archivist, but because we don't have an objects curator, I end up taking care of all of those duties as well.

I'd like part of the money to go towards setting up an area with a backdrop, camera stand/tripod, and the proper kind of lighting so we can make digital pics of our artifacts, but I don't know where to start. We have a pretty good digital camera alreadybut can't change the lenses or anything.

I've looked at camera stands, but I don't think it will work because we have a number of larger artifacts that wouldn't fit in the photo area.

Any suggestions will be welcome. Replies can be sent off list.

 

Thank you!

Christy Jones
