Abstract
Part of the Collaboration in Digitization Workflows: How Archivists and Camera Technicians Can Work Together panel

Imaging professionals make daily decisions on issues that are traditionally viewed as core pillars of archival work, including appraisal, arrangement, description, and preservation. The panel, consisting of two digital archivists and an archival photographer, with a records manager as commentator, investigates challenges faced by imaging technicians when introducing or expanding digitization projects. The speakers also explore how technicians and archivists can learn from each others' expertise to ensure successful digital products.
