Photos

General guidelines
- Send every photo you have of a given event, even if it’s blurry or out of focus. In doing research, sometimes the only record of something is in the corner of an otherwise terrible photo.
- Tell us as much context as possible for the photos
  - What was your relationship to the event?
  - What event was taking place?
  - Who was taking the pictures?
  - When and where were the photos taken?
  - What camera was being used?
  - Who are the people pictured?
Digital-native photos
- Ideally, send the raw image file (DNG, NEF, RAW, etc.)
- Otherwise, send the image that’s the closest to the original as possible: no processing, cropping, or size adjustments.
Film-native photos
- Ideally, donate the photos and negatives directly to the Archive.
- Scan photos at 600 dpi, 24 bit color
- Send uncompressed TIFF files.
