Abstract
The Science & Society Picture Library — responsible for a very large archive of still images drawn from many different collections — is presently confronting the challenge of developing an integrated cataloguing and indexing strategy by which metadata construction can proceed, and which will provide potential users with effective and standardised subject access to the many components of its holdings.
