Abstract
This study systematically investigates the practices and policies of archiving and accessing images, now that most newspapers have gone digital. Results can be applied to other organizations that archive images. Findings from the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) newspaper photographers show that policies and practices are in disarray. Photographers also are frustrated and concerned about digital technology becoming obsolete and ramifications to the historical record. The authors offer suggestions to address the situation, and they briefly consider how mass communication theorist Marshall McLuhan might have regarded digital image archives and the technology's effect on our culture.
