Reading Pete Joseph's "Rant" post raises a number of issues about who can access photogrphic negatives. As a landscape photographer/industrial archaeologist I have a large collection of Photographs and negatives, it's fair to say a very large percentage made in mining regions around the UK. All these photographs are soon going to a Museum, with gallery space, but the negatives will be left to a local authority archive, (the museum has no archival storage facilities). What are the typical policies for accessing negatives. My own experiences are from the 70's and I was just given the glass plates or lantern slides to make prints from, but I was working closely with the museum Director. Ian
