Although it makes sense to tackle the issue of preserving the digital images, there is one way to side-step the issue -- _require_ that B&W photos be taken. That is still the gold standard for long-term preservation, and when you are talking about something like archeology, you want to be _sure_ that you will have a record that will last. Historic building surveys are still required to be submitted on B&W film; aren't your projects just as important?
