Kelly:
Seems to me that these photos are not records, except in the historic sense.
Perhaps archival material? Isn't true that archival material does not have
to be a record?

Subject: [RM] Would these photos be considered records?
I received an email this morning from the Inauguration Team asking for
people to take a picture of what they are doing when the President is sworn
in...
>Take a picture when President-elect Obama takes the oath of office. Then
>send your photo to us. We'll be posting photos on our website, and some
>may even be used in the official Inaugural book.
The link in the email sends me to Photobucket, where I can upload the photo
I take at the swearing-in moment. I really do like this idea, but are
these photos then considered records, because the government will be using
them in the official Inaugural book? There's a little disclaimer at the
bottom of the Photobucket site:
>This Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book Project is not affiliated with
>the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) but has been licensed as the
>Official 2009 U.S. Presidential Inaugural Book by PIC.
So, if I take a picture, and send it to the Photobucket site, is that going
to become a governmental record, or is it only a picture taken by an
average Joe?
I might just do it...if I can get my co-workers to smile!
