FORWARDING PHOTOGRAPHS

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the process of handling photographs with historical or news value.

Whenever a photograph is considered to be of historical or news value, the Navy Imaging Command in Washington, D.C., wants to retain it in the Navy's permanent files (after you have made local use of it). Photographic documentation accomplished by designated photojournalists (NEC-8148) and other photography of significant news value should be forwarded to CHINFO.

Detailed instructions for handling photographs of this nature are covered in the Navy Visual Information Management and Operations Manual, OPNAVINST 5290.1 series.
