Hello everyone, thanks for having me around! I work at an organization that has, among other things, over 100,000 photographs. We are in the very very early stages of rescuing our archival collection and starting anew. I've been tasked with starting a preliminary inventory. I've got archival training and background, but I'm still at a bit of a loss... When attempting to get a broad picture of photographs, what do people consider the stanrdard? counting one shelf and extraploating it out for x number of photos, or as you would for documents, x linear feet? I've searched through the Archives-L postings and haven't been able to come across an answer...and I fear it is just my lack of knowledge that is letting me down. Hope someone can help!
