[BCMA] SMOC RFQ for Photographer Services

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Society for the Museum of Original Costume (SMOC) collects historic fashion, traditional costume, and textiles to create a museum of historic fashion and fabric arts. We’re home to thousands of artifacts that date from circa 1800 to today.

This year is an important one for us, as we’re the happy recipients of a gift of I. T. services from 3Spheres/JDQ Services. As a result, we hope to be able to start archiving, cataloguing, and digitizing our collection late this year/early 2014.

At this point, we’re gathering information that will allow us to raise funds to complete the project, which includes digitization of the collection. As such, this RFQ will not immediately lead to a contract for services.

We seek RFQ for photographic services of the collection. Interested suppliers are asked to provide us with the cost to provide:

-       digitization of up to 500 items

-       items must be photographed to museum standards per CHIN

-       items may require numerous photos of each item from various angles

-       For any in-kind contribution proposals offered, SMOC would be willing to contribute:
-       Exclusive recognition on SMOC’s website (www.smoc.ca)
-       Photographic Services Courtesy of: _____________” with the firm’s logo, contact information and link to its website.
-       Recognition of the firm on all collection photographs used in any publication or promotional material, including, but not limited to the website, newsletter, shows, annual report and brochures.            
Please note that this RFQ represents a portion only of the total amount of photographic services we will need over the next three years.
