Hi Amanda, I am also very interested in this, so please do share what you come up with for best practices! We don't have a lot of photo albums, but I've been putting off processing for this very reason! We've had all of our albums digitized, including the covers and inside contents-the full page and individual photos. My initial idea was to make the album a parent object with each page a child (intellectual where the album is bound, not intellectual where it's more of a binder in case the pages ever need to be stored separately for preservation purposes). I thought the first page as a child and the back as a virtual child of that child since the back of the page can't be separated from the front. Then what to do with each photograph? That's where I get stuck. Here's what I came up with for numbering for a bound album. Object Numbering CAM.1=Album as an object (Parent) CAM.1.1 First page (Intellectual Child) CAM.1.2 Second page (Intellectual Child) etc. CAM.1.1.2 First page-back of page (Virtual Child of Intellectual Child CAM.1.1) CAM.1.2.2 Second page-back of page (Virtual Child of Intellectual Child CAM.1.2) etc. Media Numbering of Pages CAM.1.1.1 First page full image media object CAM.1.1.2 First page back full image media object CAM.1.2.1 Second page full image media object CAM.1.2.2 Second page back full image media object Media Numbering of Individual Images on each Page CAM.1.1.1-1 First page media object of first image CAM.1.1.1-2 First page media object of second image I don't know if this makes sense at all, but I would love to hear other people's thoughts.
