PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVES MANAGEMENT
      
The output for a photographic archive can be connected to two macro areas: 
    
B2B : commercial area. in this case in addition to selecting the images, Alinari sees to their digitization and cataloguing, inclusion of the catalogue data on the www.alinariarchives.it website and the relative submission to the Alinari thesauruses. Alinari also sees to the off-line and on-line promotion of the material and the relative commercial management. The cycle is concluded with an accurate rendering of account to the owner of the images hired out through the Alinari site.
   
B2E : educational area. In this case, in addition to the selection, digitization and cataloguing, Alinari sees to the inclusion of the catalogue data on the www.edu.alinari.it and www.e-dotto.it web sites. The first site is adressed to universities, the second to schools. Alinari sees to the off-line and on-line promotion of the two sites containing third-party materials exclusively for educational and cultural purposes.   

Alinari’s counseling services in the field of the management of photographic archives is the result of extensive experience, not only in the Alinari photographic archives themselves, but above all in external archives.
   
Alinari’s experience in managing photographic archives, such as those of the Istituto Luce, the Touring Club Italiano, Ansaldo, Rai Teche, is based on a high level knowledge of photography, thanks also to the advice of experts and archives and/or photographic museums throughout the world, as well as experience in the utilization and consultation of photographic materials on the web.
