Good tips, Terri, and thanks for providing practical information from your standpoint to supplant my polemics! It might be of interest to everyone to know that Iron Mountain is a major archival company, and although it makes access difficult, large parts of the National Archives film collection--most of the preservation masters, which are copied to form intermediate copies and viewing copies--are going to go there very soon. I think that the alarmist tone the article takes is wrong: we are hardly "losing" these pictures forever, nor will the collection be completely closed for research. Telling photo historians they have to have some idea what they're looking for instead of handling every print to my mind is like asking art historians not to touch!
