Hi Jan, I'm a little surprised by this strong statement. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the materials they typically digitize/publish (my reference point is their Dutch sister organization).
I'm all in favor of not spending government (or in this case, agency) funds on non-free materials, but I can imagine quite a few edge cases where digitizing photos that are not yet free, may be beneficial (because some day, they will be - and some materials have the nasty habit of deteriorating). Or is this kind of scenario simply out of their scope?
