I just came across this interesting 52 page PDF by the RIT Image Permanence
Institute. It seems to be something of a white paper on archiving a
collection. 

I've only given it a very preliminary glance but it seems to cover a lot of
topics that are often discussed on this and other digital lists, such as
working spaces, resolution, scanner specs (yup, they even discuss noise,
RMS, S/N, etc.) compression, etc.

It might be worthy of a link in the files section, but I really haven't read
much of it yet to be sure.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
