Public Meeting With Interested Researchers on a Proposal for Ordering Reproductions of Still Photographs, Aerial Film, Maps, and Drawings

Краткое содержание

NARA will hold a public meeting with researchers to discuss a proposal to change procedures for ordering reproductions of archival still photographs, aerial film, maps, and drawings from the Still Picture Branch, Cartographic and Architectural Branch, and other units of the National Archives. The proposal would privatize the reproduction of these archival materials by allowing customers to place their orders directly with vendors. In addition, NARA would assign work space to vendors in its new building in College Park, MD, in order that the materials can be copied on its premises. The proposed procedures, which will be tested for a one-year trial period, are intended to expedite the reproduction ordering process and to ascertain the extent to which digital scanning can satisfy customer requirements.
