Our library is exploring digitization out of manuscript collections. We
recently sponsored a colloquium on the topic to help guide our efforts. I
find certain standard uses of images, aside from pretty pictures & screen
savers:
1. Illustrating an inventory or guide to holdings - entire or selective
2. Reproducing an exhibition
3. Digitizing an object or set of objects.
All of these can be done with a certain degree of intellectual content.
They do need some solid documentation.
