Guidelines for cataloguing images using the Picture Queensland web form

Guidelines also available as Word document [new window 363 kb].

2. General requirements

To provide as full a description as possible to users of the Picture Queensland image database, complete as many fields as possible, as all are useful for both discovery and display. The more fields completed, the greater the likelihood clients will find relevant images. However, if the information is not easily available, do not spend time searching for it. If a field is listed as 'Optional' and the information is readily available, complete the field.
