Abstract

The National Park Service's Heritage Documentation Programs, in coordination with the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, have drafted a long-term strategy for managing its shared architectural records collection of more than 350,000 drawings, photographs, and historical reports. The strategy involves a gradual migration from paper and film to digital for service copies, a proposed eventual phase-out of the traditional booklet-in-binder format in place since the 1930s, the transfer of all paper and film documentation to remote storage, and a more robust information system for managing the collection and supplying text and images for the Library of Congress's Built in America website.
