FSH 1609.21 - PHOTOGRAPHY MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK
R2 SUPPLEMENT 2409.17-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
CHAPTER 20 - PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTIONS AND USE
21.02 - Objective. This chapter provides for systematic acquisitions, filing and use
of quality photographs.
21.1 - Photography Collection Location. In addition to mandatory photography
collections (FSM 1643.1) at the Washington Office, Regional Office and all Forest
Headquarters, Ranger Districts shall establish and maintain photography
collections relating to Ranger District needs. The Regional Office collection shall be
established and maintained by the Office of Information (FSM 1643.1). The
procedures in this chapter apply to all locations having a photography collection.
21.2 - Establishing, Maintaining, and Using a Permanent Photographic Collection.
The photography collection is appropriately identified as a Permanent Photographic
Collection. It contains photographs of value to the public, the resource manager
and others.
21.21 - Establishing Collection.
21.21a - Procedures. Photography collection starts at the moment the need for
photography is identified. This procedure illustrates the process and considerations
for obtaining quality photographs for the permanent photographic collections:
1. Identify kind of photograph needed, how it will be used, and when needed.
Plan acquisition so photographs are matched with need and time frames. Make list
of specific needs. Determine what each photo must visually communicate.
2. Check existing collections. If photograph needed is not available, add to
your needs list.
3. Use correct film.
4. Make a record of each frame at time of exposure. Use the Field
Photographic Record, Form R2-1600-1. (ex. 01) If practical, take more than one
original if photograph is to be submitted to a permanent collection other than
originating unit.
5. Return exposed film and, Form R2-1600-1, Field Photographic Record to the
person responsible for processing activities on the unit.
6. After processing, make quality analysis of images obtained. Keep, Form R21600-1, Field Photographic Record, with quality negatives or prints.
7. For transparencies, transfer information from Form R2-1600-1, Field
Photographic Record to the slide mount margin in accordance with section 21.31.

Color and black and white film, negative and print shall be filed together in the
Form R2-1600-3, Photographic Envelope. complete information on envelope or
attach the original Form R2-1600-1, Field Photographic Record, to the envelope.
8. Promptly file selected negatives, prints and color transparencies in
Permanent Photographic Collection by categories. (Refer to 21.35.)

21.22 - Maintaining a Permanent Photographic Collection.
21.22a - Quality Control. Add only quality photographs to the Collection.
21.22b - Accessibility, Ease of Use Requirements for a Photographic Collection.
Photography files should be in readily accessible areas. A sample catalog system,
showing visually what is available and where, should be with the collection.
21.22c - Care of Negatives, Prints and Film. Negatives and slides can be ruined
through neglect or careless storage practices. This is generally not detected until
the need for the negative or print is acute.
A negative or print can easily become scratched, compressed or faded with little or
no intentional effort. Handle negatives and slides only by the edges.
Proper storage and careful handling of negatives and prints will add years to their
life and usefulness.
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 3 of 42
1. Store negatives in transparent or glassine sleeves.
2. File negatives in fire resistant steel filing cabinets.
3. Keep prints, negatives, and slides out of direct sunlight and avoid prolonged
exposure to fluorescent light.
4. High relative humidity (above 55%) can damage negatives. Color
transparencies are particularly susceptible.
5. If glues are going to be used, use only those that are meant for mounting
photographs.
6. Keep room temperatures cool. Normal room temperatures (around 70
degrees F) are too warm. Low sixties are better.
7. Keep photo cabinets away from heat vents.
8. Whenever practical, keep negative or print in transparent holder while
handling.
9. Properly clean negatives and prints. Do not experiment with abrasive
tissues or liquid cleaners not designed for photographic use.
10. Locate photography storage cabinets and work areas in a dust- free part of
the building.
Contact the Regional Visual Information Coordinator, Office of Information, if
assistance is needed to evaluate maintenance and storage needs of a collection.
21.22d - Protecting Motion Picture Film and Video Tapes. Photographic collections
should make provision for protective storage of any 16mm motion picture film,
audio and video tapes. The collected film or tape may be opportunity footage for
planned future projects or edited material for television spots. (Refer to FSM
1641.5 for motion picture production limitations.)
If the small quantity of footage collected does not justify development of a protective
area for the film, provision should be made to store the film elsewhere. The
Regional Visual Information Coordinator, Office of Information, and the
Washington Office (through FSA facilities) can store this film safely.
A subject matter log should be established, maintained and be immediately
available in the vicinity of the stored 16mm film and video tape. This facilitates
ready access to the footage.
21.22e - Purging Collection. Periodically, the collection shall be reviewed to remove
images that no longer have value. This is particularly true of images showing items
that can be dated. Clothing and automobile styles change rapidly. Before
destroying the image, consideration should be given to adding it to the Special
Historic Photograph Collection.
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 4 of 42
21.22f - Storage Facilities for Collections. Slide cabinets are available commercially.
These cabinets usually have sliding racks where as many as 200 slides are arrayed
for quick review. This type of storage is desirable with large collections.
For small collections, use flexible plastic slide holders, size 9 by 11 inches, with
pockets for 20 - 2 by 2 inch slides. These holders may be filed in three-ring looseleaf
binders or in the standard 9 x 12 inch file folder. Photos with negatives can be
stored in a standard correspondence file cabinet.
21.23 - Using Permanent Photographic Collection21.23a - Credit Line and
Responsibility Statement. Sales require the use of credit line and responsibility
statement when reproduction of official Forest Service photographs are furnished to
newspapers, magazines, publishers and cooperators in accordance with existing law
and regulations. (Refer to FSM 1643.3.)
Credit Line With Responsibility Statement
"IF REPRODUCED, PLEASE USE CREDIT LINE "USDA FOREST SERVICE
PHOTO." No responsibility of any nature is assumed by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture or Forest Service for the use of this photograph for any advertising
purposes; also this official photograph is furnished with the understanding that it
will not be used in any way that will imply recommendation by the USDA of any
commercial product or service."
All photographs made available for use by others, whether sold as a print or made
available as prescribed above, shall be accompanied by the credit line with
responsibility statement. (Stamp, do not type, on the back of photograph.) This
credit line with responsibility statement must be transmitted in such a manner so
as not to be separated from the appropriate photograph.
The print will not be stamped if the reproduction qualities of the print stand to be
damaged - a label may be affixed which will accomplish the purpose.
21.23b - Photographs Exempt from the Permanent Collection. Special situations
dictate that some photographs shall be located in the correspondence filing system
case folders. For example, photographs taken in conjunction with range utilization
or 3-step transects shall be filed in the appropriate range allotment file folder.
Similarly, photographs taken for special reports, such as law enforcement
investigations, accident investigations, safety inspections, dam inspections, special
use inspections, and so forth, should be filed in the appropriate case folder. Copies
of some of these photographs may, however, have value in the permanent collection.
21.23c - Special Collections. Quite often there are advantages to establishing and
maintaining small collections of photographs that relate to each other because of
some special circumstance. A collection of photographs relative to human resource
program activities is one example. Photographs collected for use in a land
management plan is another.
Set up a special collection to keep specific subject photographs together, usually for
a predetermined time span. Make provision at the time the special collection is
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 5 of 42
established for accession of each of the photographs to the regular collections. Do
not stop the accessibility of good pictures for use by someone else just because
another plan is being made. Both needs can be served with minimum
inconvenience if the photographer will take two or three originals instead of the
usual one at the time the picture is taken.
Special collections should be stored as a single unit with the permanent
photographic collection of the unit. A simple inventory of what is available in the
special collection area must be established. Special collection shall be aimed at
meeting specific management needs.
All pictures to be used in a special collection (except Historic Photograph Collection)
shall first be cataloged in the Permanent Photographic Collection and a duplicate or
another original used for the special collection purposes.
Special collections shall be labeled with a descriptive title such as "Mount Emmons
Mining Project" or "Kannah Creek Demonstration Area," and so forth
21.23c(1) - Historical Photograph Collection. Additions to the historical collection
shall be constant and on a planned basis. History is being photographed at all
times. Each historical photographic collection should acquire photographs showing
today's activities which will be of interest to resource managers, writers and
photographers in the years ahead. For example, photographs of the Rapid City
Flood of 1972 are photos having historical values. Major forest fire damage or
significant and highly visible changes in silvicultural practices are other photos of
value.
Senior citizens and their survivors occasionally look for a repository for pictures of
historic value, but do not know how to go about donating the photographs.
Permanent donations to Forest Service collections are appropriate and welcomed.
Proper credit to source of donor should be worked out at time of donation. Letters of
acknowledgment and appreciation are in order. A list of the specific photographs
acquired, together with appropriate Forest Service file designations, shall be
attached to an appropriate letter of appreciation to the donor.
If storage facilities at local offices are not adequate for the care of historical
photographs, they should be forwarded to the Washington Office historic
photographic storage facilities. Prints or duplicate negatives will be returned to the
originating office upon request. Originals can be returned also.
Establish methods for careful indexing, establishing cross-references to like-kind
photographs of earlier or later time spans.
21.23c(2) - Photography for Human Resource Program Activities. All units with
photographic collections should establish a special collection for human resource
program pictures.
Examples of kinds of photographs most useful to the human resource program are:
1. Photos of people on the job. Visual evidence of work in progress.
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 6 of 42
2. Photos of work accomplished.
3. Photographs stressing social problem identification and Forest Service role
in helping resolve the problem.
4. Pictures showing people what services and activities are available from the
Forest Service and how these services may be obtained.
5. Pictures showing where these services are available are very important.
Identify other agencies or participants where appropriate.
6. Pictures which relate human resource program activities to other on-going
work of the Forest Service.
21.23c(3) - Emerging Issues and Special Projects. Provision should be made for
identification and collection of photographs of particular value to selected emerging
issues. The photographic needs of an emerging issue are highly specialized and
must be identified, obtained and made readily available in a timely fashion.
Storage and retrieval of this kind of photography should be designed to fit the
circumstance. All photographs relating to an issue should be kept together during
the active life span of the issue. All issue photographs will be added to the
Permanent Photographic Collection at the time the photograph is acquired. Use
duplicates or second originals in the emerging issue collection.
21.23c(4) - Browsing Collection. The Browsing Collection is a small select
representation of quality photographs assembled from the Permanent Photographic
Collection to meet a specific need or demand. The collection should be kept current
with on-going issues and activities, often suggesting extensions or alternate visual
representations. A small selection of appropriate and available historic pictures
should also be included.
The Browsing Collection will be used by writers, publishers and others seeking
quality photographs to accompany a manuscript or text.
This collection shall be kept current and instantly accessible. Its special value is
making quality photographs available with a minimum expenditure of time and
effort by the user.
21.23c(5) - Photography for Employee Training. Training programs use photos to
provide off-site learning opportunities through slide tape programs.
A special section in the photography collection may be established for photographs
of particular value for training purposes.
Photographs to be used for employee training or other training activities will
normally convey a learning opportunity. Examples of kinds of photographs most
useful:
1. Photos which can help the orientation of an employee to an unfamiliar
activity or resource.
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 7 of 42
2. "How to" pictures, which are prescriptive as well as descriptive. Processes
or methodology represented must be accurate and complete.
3. Photographs distinctly identifying the parts of a subject or action and
photographs stressing efficiency in performance and economy in expenditure of time
and effort.
21.23c(6) - Photography for Demonstration Areas. Demonstration areas offer
unlimited opportunities for securing on-site photography for off-site use. Before and
after photographs assist the viewer in understanding what has taken place. The
photographic needs of a demonstration area should be planned as a part of the
development plan for the area.
Off-site uses of the photography obtained from a demonstration area include:
1. Making visible services obtainable from public agencies of value to private
landowners. These include consultation, planning, assistance in problem solving
and identity.
2. Application of practices to lands similar, but not a part of a demonstration
area, and historic perspective establishment and maintenance.
21.23c(7) - Permanent Camera Points Photography Collection. Permanent camera
point collections are described in Chapter 30 of this Handbook. Using regular
numeric and alphabetic file designations, this collection of photographs, having
continuity to specific sites or activities, will be stored as a single unit.
Keeping this "subject-specific" photography together assures continuity and
accessibility of the entire series of photographs taken at any permanent camera
point.
21.23c(8) - Slide Programs. All units should have quality slide programs available
for use by employees and the public. Slide programs are an effective
communication process and, when skillfully combined with the script, the
presentation brings on-the-ground resource activities right into the public meeting
hall. Planning the script and the supporting photography is essential. Careful
presentation of predetermined objectives and establishment of a basic theme are
characteristics necessary of all slide programs.
The key to developing a good slide program is recognition of unity and coherence in
the written script.
21.3 - Identifying and Filing Images in the Permanent Collection. This section
describes the establishment of the file system and the subject category codes to be
used by all units. It is designed to offer easy accession and retrieval. Two category
lists are included: (1) numerical and (2) alphabetical.
The filing categories are identical to those used in the National Forest Service
Office since the 1960s. It generally conforms to the Forest Service Manual
coordinated file system, FSH 6209.11, as it existed in the 1960s.
R2 AMENDMENT 1609.21-94-1
EFFECTIVE 6/1/94
1609.21,20
Page 8 of 42
As you are aware the Manual numbering system frequently changes; a photograph
file system has to maintain a consistency throughout the time. For example, more
than 750 thousand images have already been categorized in the Washington Office.
If the categories were changed to conform to the coordinated file system, an
expensive reorganization of the collection would be needed. In addition,
photographic classification requirements often do not parallel the subject matter of
the coordinated file system.
The categories are organized to avoid subject matter duplication between National
Forest System, State and Private Forestry, and Research branches of the Forest
Service. You should therefore familiarize yourself with all categories. Most Region
2 personnel will not be familiar with categories under Research (40000), but these
categories should be used by National Forest System personnel if they fit the
photographs' description. For example, 47301 is the proper category for Christmas
tree harvesting, whereas most National Forest System personnel would logically
want to categorize under 24000. The filing and retrieval of a photograph, color
transparency or negative are accomplished through the use of the numeric code
which is placed on each item or its storage envelope and R2-1600-1 form.
Though the listing can never be considered complete, it does represent most of the
classifications normally sought and will serve as the best single source for subject
matter coding. Do not arbitrarily set up new categories for your local collection.
Photographs may be properly filed in more than one category. Primary and
secondary classification are provided for in the system. Cross- referencing to a
multi-subject image is encouraged.
Computer programming is available from the Washington Office for listings of large
collections.
21.31 - Identifying and Filing a Color Slide. Exhibit 02 is a sample of a properly
identified slide to be added to the permanent collection. Note that in the upper
right corner of the slide there is a "subject category primary number." All similar
images in the Permanent Photographic Collection carry the same number.
Sometimes a "secondary category number" appears below the prime number. This
means the photograph fits more than one subject classification.
If a duplicate photograph is filed under the secondary number, circle this number to
indicate that it should be filed or refiled under that category.
The Identification Number Block is reserved for the permanent numbers assigned
by the Washington Office.
Each slide will show the photographer's name and temporary number. Temporary
numbers are usually a chronological sequence of numbers the photographer
maintains throughout his Forest Service career. This is the same number used on
the Form R2-1600-1 Field Photographic Record. By using the photographer's name
and temporary number, each photograph can be individually identified.
Place a caption describing the scene, location, and identifiable people.

21.32 - Identifying and Filing a Black and White Photograph and Negative.
Standard photo file envelopes (Form R2-1600-3) are available from the Regional
Office. (ex. 03) Transparent or glassine envelopes shall be used to protect the
negative and stored in the envelope. Regularly established requisition procedures
shall be used by units needing supplies.
The photograph file envelope is open-ended. The envelope is captioned for specific
data needed for filing and information purposes. The same data is on the Field
Photographic Record (Form R2-1600-1). You can attach the original R2-1600-1 to
the photograph envelope to save time. This envelope shall be made out by the
originating unit. Negative holders shall be numbered with the same file number to
help keep the negative with the right file.
Proof Sheets - Many photographers often shoot a complete roll or several rolls of
film on the same subject. When the film is developed, a request is made for a
"contact proof sheet" where all frames of the film roll are printed on an 8 by 10 inch
sheet of photo paper. This is an inexpensive way where by you can select only the
best frames from the roll for subsequent enlargement. Subsequent enlargements
can also be filed in the same envelope.
Store envelopes by sequential category number in a standard file cabinet.

21.33 - Filing Color Prints and Negatives. The black and white photograph and
negative procedure shall be used for color prints and negatives.
21.34 - Filing Slide Programs. Duplicate slides should be used in the slide
presentation and slide talk package. This protects the quality of the original slide
and permits use of the original slide for other purposes. This practice prevents lockup of outstanding photographs for single-purpose use.
Frequently used slide programs can be stored in projection slide trays (carousel, and
so forth). A copy of the script and audio cassette tape should be filed with the
slides.
All slides should be kept together and numbered in sequence to assure they are not
scattered and difficult to retrieve.
Infrequently used programs can be stored in plastic slide holders (9 by 11 inches
with pockets for 20 2 by 2 inch slides) with a copy of the script or audio tape. These
holders may be filed in three-ring looseleaf binders or in the standard 9 by 12 inch
file folder.
Slide programs with Region-side interest should be forwarded to the Regional
Office, Office of Information, for the permanent image collection.
21.35 - Rocky Mountain Region Photography Filing System Coding. The following
sections list the categories used to index the permanent collection.
The Small Photographic Collection Subject Code list (21.35a) is designed primarily
for small collections (less than 3000 images) often found at the Ranger District.
Large or specialized collections should employ the more definitive Photographic
Collection Subject Codes - Numeric (21.35b).
