Committee Workshop to Develop a National Plan for Preserving Astronomical Photographic Data

In response to a growing concern that astronomy's rich heritage of historic photographic observations is in danger of becoming lost, a Workshop "To Develop a National Plan for Preserving Astronomical Photographic Data" was held on November 1-3, 2007 at Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) in Rosman, NC. Thirty astronomers and archivists from North America and Europe attended the workshop. We present here a summary and recommendations from the committee.
