I was wondering if there were any libraries out there that have a local history center that has created a digital photographic archive that patrons can access to request copies of photos. If you have, what did you use and how does the patron access it? We are currently just scanning photos and the staff print a copy and put it into a file for the patron to leaf through. We have so many photos that have been scanned and many more that still need to be scanned and the amount of printing/toner usage is astronomical! Since they are already scanning and have a digital copy of the pictures, I think it would be more beneficial to just make those digital copies available and we'd only be printing on demand. Just looking for some guidance and recommendations.



Thanks,
