Krogh Family Archive Project
This document will serve as a planning tool and permanent record for the family archive project. It will include a list of materials that are in the archive as well as access and use instructions.
Print Film
- Try to keep groups of rolls together
- Within a particular group, make subgroups of:
- Has prints and negatives in envelope
- Has prints only
- Has negatives only
- Write on envelope:
- Subject if you can determine
- Date if you can find it
- Status of prints/Negs
- We will try to reconcile prints only envelopes with negs on envelopes if possible

Record Groups Reference
As media is digitized, it will be divided into archives for permanent storage.
- These record groups will be used to generate file names
- Record groups will also serve to make the original item findable
Record Group Categories and naming scheme
001-099 – Photographic Prints
- KFA_PrintVtgKr_0001 Where PrintVtgKr is an abbreviation of the record group name, and 0001 is an arbitrary sequence number
100-199 – Slides
- KFA_Slide101_001 Where Slide101 is the box that the slides are stored in, and 001 is the sequence number of the slide
200-299 – Negatives and C-41 prints
- KFA_C41_0001_01 (Where C41 is the film process, 0001 is the roll number, and 01 is the approximate frame number)
- Krogh_BW_0001_01 (Where BW is the film process, 0001 is the roll number, and 01 is the approximate frame number) Note that there does not appear to be any KFA BW film so far, so this name is for Peter Krogh BW film).
300-399 – Albums and scrapbooks
- KFA_Alb-HWK_001
400-499 – Press, Publication and clippings
- KFA_Doc001_001 Where Doc001 is the document box
File naming
File names will serve to identify an image as being from the Krogh Family Archive, to locate where the original item is, and to provide a unique instance per image.
File names will be in the following format:
KFA_xxxxx_1234.EXT
- KFA means Krogh Family Archive
- xxxx is the Record Group
- 1234 is the unique identifier – when possible, this should reflect a natural order of the objects e.g. the frames on a roll of color print film or the pages in an album
If the work is to be given a title (e.g. “Helen Blackistone Portrait, ca.1921” this will be written to the IPTC Title field
Shooting Method
For each Session
- Shoot a photo with the small color checker, and make sure second lightest grey is about 75%
- Shoot a photo of the blank backdrop and measure evenness
- Shoot a photo of big color checker
