Seems to me this was discussed here a while back, but since the technology is moving so rapidly perhaps an update is in order. I've been working with some architects on documenting buildings for National Register nominations. I've been doing b/w darkroom prints, for that purpose but I've read such positive things about BO archival qualities that I suggested this option to the architect. This morning I got on the National Register website and was please to note they do accept digital prints that meet the 75 year standard. See: http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/policyexpansion.htm#further I didn't see the carbon BO process listed but would like to suggest to the people at the Register that this be added to their list of acceptable submissions. There is a statement in their policy that they encourage people to submit new processes to them since they can't keep up with all the changes. Can anyone suggest how to approach the Register and make a case for BO prints? I'm convinced, myself, of their archival properties, but I'd to get my 'ducks in a row' before I contact them. This is very exciting news, that the Register is moving in this direction. I'm convinced we, here, have something positive to offer them if we do it right. Thanks all! Paul
