Unless the plan is to donate it

It says in the article itself when they tried to creat a app for access to images it failed
Badly

The learning curve for this is steep and expensive unless you hire a team who knows what they are doing and an agency that has to mechanisms in place to get this rolling
They don't even look like they have that collection digitized
Smh*
And it's a bit like getting into the record business in this day and age
The major profits for this industry is in a downward spiral and the industry hit its peak right before the Internet peaked
And unfortunately Castro unless it goes to a museum or library the costs and access would be worse than a large commercial agency
In general stock image costs are down and lower than ever
And people want them lower if not free
And actually Getty offers online use/access free with stipulations now
