Warwickshire County Record Office will soon be using the Photograph
Template on CALM for cataloguing.
This has raised a number of questions relating to the physical description
of photographs. We would be interested to know if there are conventions
being employed in the following areas.
1. Does a measurement of the photograph always start with the side followed
by the bottom?
2. Should imperial as well as metric be used in all measurements?
3. Does the measurement include or exclude a frame?
Any advice would be appreciated.
