Heritage Documentation Programs (HDP) has developed procedures to produce digital contact prints (instead of wet contact prints) that meet both HDP standards and the archival requirements mandated by the Library of Congress.
The basic suggested procedure is the same for both black-and-white prints and color transparencies. This process creates a print card that mimics the photo mount cards the HDP has used for decades. HDP photographers developed this method as an efficient way to produce digital print cards. Results may vary based on hardware, software, and scanning environment.
