Providing access to large collections of visual materials is one of the most daunting situations any archivist faces. Panelists discuss innovative decisions and strategies for ensuring successful online and onsite item-level access to collections in a wide variety of formats, offering attendees insights into arrangement and description practices, choice of descriptive elements, and strategies for online dissemination. Highlighted are the factors that influence situation-specific arrangement and description choices: research needs; security concerns; future digitization projects; and fiscal variables. Projects include a collection of valuable historic Western Americana card photographs; a reprocessing and digitization project for a documentary photographer's life work; an archive of 13,000 16-mm newsfilm clips and scripts from Roanoke, Virginia, that includes footage of civil rights events; and 35,000 photos and negatives produced between 1929 and 1970 by the state of North Carolina for its travel and tourism advertising campaigns.
