Archive Consultation

Maybe you have photos glued to a photo album that you can't get out? Have odd sized photographs? Don't know what cultural institutions might be interested in?

If you are a member of the LaGuardia Community College community and have archival questions please contact Thomas Cleary (tcleary@lagcc.cuny.edu) with any questions.  

It is possible to set up a short session to go over what you have and good ways to store your materials if you have materials that are not covered in this guide.  If you do not have access to a scanner at home, arrangements can be made to set up a scanning session as well.
