    <br> Sounds to me like you should use your accession number as the file name, followed by an alpha indicator which designates the file type
    (<u>A</u>rchival, <u>S</u>ervice, <u>R</u>eference, <u>T</u>humbnail)
    <br> 123456a.tif<br>
    <br> You might also look at

    </a>There is a section on Naming Schemes that is worth looking at.<br>
    <br> Good luck with your project.<br>

    <br> I am interested in experience people may have had naming their digital<br> image files. I just tried to search the archives but I just got the<br>
    &quot;Imagelib filelist&quot; by date.<br>
    <br> Could someone please tell me how to search the archive by subject, or pass<br> on the benefit of your experience directly if appropriate. We are just<br> about to start digitising our slide collection (100,000 slides). The slides<br> are already on a 4D database and each has a unique 6 digit accession<br> number. We'll be saving them as TIFF files for archival purposes but as<br> JPEGs for everyday use.<br>
    <br> I am sure there are all sorts of issues to be considered, and that these<br> have been discussed. Just need help to find to find it!<br>
    <br> Thanks<br> Jill More<br>
