John Stathatos: Chrysoula Fatseas working on the Fatseas Archive, July 2006

After cleaning, the negative plate is given a serial number and all necessary details, including an estimate of its condition on a scale of 0-4, are meticulously entered in the record book. The plate is then placed in an individual, acid-free four-fold envelope and stored. Later this summer it will be evaluated and checked again, scanned and digitised, and its subject researched before it acquires a permanent record in the photographic archive database.
