*****
The European Commission on Preservation and Access (ECPA) just published the
report `SEPIADES. Cataloguing photographic collections'. It aims to provide
background information on the SEPIADES (SEPIA Data Element Set) advisory
report and software tool that were developed in the framework of the SEPIA
programme. SEPIA stands for 'Safeguarding European Photographic Images for
Access' (SEPIA) (www.knaw.nl/ecpa/sepia).

SEPIADES is a multi-level data element set to catalogue photographic
collections. Apart from 21 core elements, it contains many suggestions for use
of specific, detailed elements. The report explains about the motives behind
SEPIADES, providing an introduction to both the model and the software tool.
It is aimed at all those involved in cataloguing photographic collections,
both cataloguers and decision makers.

Copies of the report can be ordered on-line (16 euros plus postage and
handling costs*) or downloaded from the ECPA website free of charge, see
