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?

Best,
Lodewijk
