Photographs are a highly useful anthropological tool.  While            its potential has been realized by many scholars, only recently                 has the value of the vast number of images held by                              anthropological institutions been emphasized for its research                   potential.  Unfortunately, many collections have been badly                     maintained and are pooly recognized.  Because of the nitrate base               of our earliest documents, use is even dangerous.                                       The Maxwell Museum of the University of New Mexico is                   conducting a two year program to organize, catalogue, index, and                rehouse their photographic materials.  A pilot project for this                 project was funded last year.  A computerized catalogue, a visual               reference index and an organized storage system will be                         developed, thereby permitting researchers ready access to these                 premier collections for the first time.                                                 The Maxwell Museum's photographic collections document a                century of culture change around the world and a similar span of                archaeological and ethnographic research.  In many cases, the                   subject societies no longer exist as integrted units; in others                 they have been drastically modified.  Thus the surviving imagery                represents a valuable resource to both anthropology and the                     members of societies whose traditions have been recorded by the                 camera.
