      There is no known copyright asserted over any of the images on the site. The photographer was George McLellan of the American Rhododendron Society, and most were personal photos taken by him, according to Jeanne. There was permission given for use at one point, which may exist on paper. However, this is not seen to be an issue by Jeanne or Kendon, and we could place a simple notice about this with the photographs.

      Steve Majewski also confirms that the original photographs page from the website listed George McLellan of the American Rhododendron Society as the photographer.

      We want to use infrastructure we currently maintain as much as possible.  Thus, linking to XTF versions of documents.  We will need to decide where we want to put the images to ensure stability and migration.  There is not a requirement for the images to be discoverable outside the site, although they are digital version of Library managed material and that should be taken into account.

      Based on a 10/10/2018 meeting with Jeanne Hammer and Kendon Stubbs (MOU also a work in progress), the Library will resurrect In Search of Native Azaleas and make the digital content available by linking from the site to current Library maintained storage and delivery platforms.  Specific work includes:

      • Introduction:  remove the handful of unknown characters in the document (also show as errors in page source)
      • Acknowledgements:  No updates.
      • Original Documents: update links to point to XTF version of the documents.
      • Site Search: remove outdated search.  Enable searching across the collection in VIRGO, similar to functionality in place for WSLS, and provide a link to that search from the site.
      • Photographs:  Recover images, determine where to home them (Virgo and Artstor have been suggested), and link to the new home from the site.
      • Links:  Replace targets with Wayback locations to preserve access and limit maintenance.
      • Shrinkwrap the result in a Preservation environment.

      Long term, it is the intention that the Library will maintain the content and access via our ever evolving infrastructure, updating the site links accessing the content as necessary.  

      Jeanne Hammer noted that use of the Rhododendron fund would be appropriate from the Society’s perspective, if the Library chose to use the fund for any aspect of this work.
