I understand that the AIS Library is out of space for storage. Is the
current Library a good place for copies of photos?

Subject: [AISdiscuss] Motion re guidelines for submission of digital
images
with iris registrations
Hello all,
Cheryl Deaton moved and John Jones seconded the below motion. As such,
it is officially open for discussion.
Michelle
"I move that we adopt the Committee's recommendations listed below
regarding
the guidelines for the submission of digital images accompanying iris
registrations and the creation of a Registration Image Coordinator."
GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL IMAGES ACCOMPANYING IRIS
REGISTRATIONS
Mission Statement:
To create a reference library of images associated with fully completed
registrations received from the AIS Regisrar-Recorder.
The images should function primarily as augmentation of cultivar
descriptions and secondarily as a resource for AIS promotion.
Guidelines for Image Submission:
*Registrants are requested to submit images with registration. Highest
quality digital images in jpeg format (4x6-300 dpi or medium setting on
the
camera-Higher Resolution is preferred and not to exceed 600 or 1200 dpi).
*Once the registrant receives approval for their name requested, images
should be labeled as follows:
YYreg.number, iris name_hybridizer_registration year_type_photographer.
(i.e. 11-6789_Golden Panther_Tasco05_TB_JSmith)
*If possible, images of the flower (close up), stalk and clump are
desired.
It is to the advantage of the hybridizer to submit the best photos
possible
so they may promote the cultivar in AIS projects. The photographer retains
copyright ownership for their own uses but agrees with submission to any
AIS
uses.
*The photograph of the flower should be taken in the garden with no
digital
manipulation permitted. Color and form should be true to cultivar in all
respects and in sharp focus.
*It is preferred that the images are stored for reference in the AIS
library.
Detailed Copyright Disclaimer:
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that by submitting a photograph of an
iris cultivar being registered with the Registrar-Recorder of the American
Iris Society the undersigned hereby grants the AIS and its agencies
(Affiliates, Regions, Sections) the right to reprint or republish such
photograph in the Iris Encyclopedia maintained by the AIS; in any of the
newsletters or journals published by the AIS or its agencies; to publish
such photograph on any website maintained by or on behalf of the AIS or
any
of its agencies; and to publish such photograph in any other publication
published by the AIS or its agencies in the ordinary course of its
educational and scientific activities.
The undersigned represents and warrants that he is the owner of all

the

Flow Chart:
*Image(s) are accompanied with the Registration Form; received by the AI
Registrar-Recorder, assigned a registration number related to its
registration folder and then transferred to Registration Image Coordinator
once the registrant receives approval for their name requested.
*Registration Image Coordinator enters a cross-reference list of
registration (image) numbers and names to be maintained on a spreadsheet.
*Discs are prepared and copies are sent to the AIS slide chair, AIS
library,
and Iris Encyclopedia Manager and Web Master.
*Iris Encyclopedia enters reduced images into wiki with accession number
and
file name so as to be able to act as a card catalog for higher definition
images stored in library.
This process should be an ongoing process with batches sent as received by
the AIS Registrar-Recorder.
Job description of Registration Image Coordinator:
*The Registration Image Coordinator is appointed by the President of AIS
and
is responsible to him/her.
*To coordinate all activities of the registration image collection, the
archiving and disposition of said received from the AIS
Registrar-Recorder.
*To safeguard and store all of the digitized photos by use of the AIS
disaster plan.
Guidelines for Arciving Images in Library:
*Storage: Images may be stored on disc, thumb drive or external hard
drive.
*Retrieval: By searching the Registration Image Coordinator's spreadsheet,
or the Iris Encyclopedia, one can obtain the file number for a unique
image.
