Imaging Services acts as a focal point in the Smithsonian Institution for photographic support. Addressing a crucial need within the Smithsonian Institution by providing digital imaging support for annually accessioned objects (referred to as "keep-up" digitization) and for small-scale collections, particularly in smaller museums and departments lacking staff photographers. These projects may be executed by the unit under the supervision and training of Imaging Services, or directly undertaken by Imaging Services' in-house imaging staff, without the involvement of external vendors.
