Abstract

During the past ten years the field of visual resources curatorship has become increasingly professional. Hand in hand with this advancement has come a push to introduce standards for organising and accessing visual materials. Computerisation has occurred in individual image collections, yet the wider use of automated systems within visual resources collections awaits the establishment of such standards. These concerns for professionalism, standardisation, automation and the adoption of new photographic media have been prime factors in the development of visual resources curatorship since 1972.
