    Materials of museums are preserved by the environmental management system which controls the quality of air thorough the chemical air filters. It is also known that cellulose triacetate films are decomposed releasing the acetic acid with the progression of degradation. In this paper, based on the management practice at museums, the chemical measures for film preservation are suggested.

    Because of the rising needs for long-term preservation of digital documents using optical disc, the official standards for the long-term preservation with optical discs has been already established and introduced to the market. In this article, the author expounds the efficiency of optical discs by comparing properties of initial recording and long-term preservation on the commercial discs of which data has been accumulated since 2000 with the standard values in the JIS Z 6017 (long-term preservation for electronic imaging documents). The author also expounds the properties of initial recording and the capability of a long-term preservation at the special media disc designed for long-term preservation and the efficiency of these special discs. The significance of applying the recording drive for a long-term preservation, the handling of the optical disc and the archive guideline with the special disc are also expounded.

    Photograph documents group of Yamauchi photo studio were entrusted to the Tokamachi city, which was damaged by the Chūetsu earthquakes in 2004. In order to transmit them to posterity for a practical use, Tokamachi city and citizen volunteers started a new collaboration project that involves filing and digitization of the photograph documents. Specifically, releasing the photos to public, this project prepares the photograph database through collecting people’s memories and experiences connected with the individual photo and examining the details of photos. With the objective verification of the information, historical and cultural value will be enhanced to be able to satisfy the requirements for academic use. Along with positioning this project as a starting point for building the community image archives’ we will support the archives for something people can rely on.

    The activities at the Historiographical Institute have been modified drastically by the rapid development of the digital technology. Particularly, the digital collection of historical sourcesrequires us to reconstruct the management system on historical sources. I will introduce how the HI is correspondent to this subject these several years and discuss the future prospects and possibility.

    After having played an important pioneering role in the development of cinematography, Louis Lumière presented in 1904 to the Académie des sciences their newest invention, the autochrome. This was the first workable color photographic process that could be produced at an industrial scale. The method was ready to be marketed to the public three years later, in 1907. This miraculous technology finally introduced the colors of nature into a universe that had up to that time been dominated by monochrome images. While the technical bravado of the new method was fascinating, it was the revolutionary industrial methods used to fabricate the plates that was most impressive. Over the course of thirty years, several million autochrome plates were produced and sold throughout the world. The paper introduces the rise and decline of the Autochrome process and the technological challenges for producing autochrome plates at the Lumière factory as well.
