They explained that they can provide sleeves, gloves, archiving pen, proper protection for negatives, etc.
Their expert said we should:
Remove all newspaper cuttings from the big plastic folders
· Store newspapers flat, and not to cut out articles, but keep whole pages
· They OK’d using a camera, rather than a scanner, for our digital images of articles (much easier, I think)
· They don’t like our boxfiles with clips, but will supply their own standard boxes (they will deliver)
· They would prefer photos to be handled with
gloves, slipped into individual sleeves, and any file number or
annotation to be written on that sleeve, rather than on the photo.
Posters need to be stored flat, and they will process them.
· A box of programmes will be fine – the cleanest ones we can find.
· They approved our spreadsheet approach to keeping track of what we have so far.
We just have to do a rough count of what we are
going to need, and they can deliver the supplies. As they say we're doing the work for them after all so they're happy to supply the required storing materials. And they will top up
as necessary, which is terrific!
