If photographs are used in the dissertation, they should be black and white whenever possible. Each photograph should have a full range of contrast from black to white. Photos with limited contrast may reproduce satisfactorily on positive microfilm, but they will be unclear in photocopies made from microfilm. Color photos in the dissertation will not reproduce well from microfilm. Color xerography produces excellent copies of black and white photographs.
Regular photocopies are also acceptable if sufficient contrast is achieved.
A dry-mounting process provides the neatest and most permanent result for mounting photographs in a dissertation. Double-stick tape on three sides of the photograph may also be used. If it is absolutely necessary to include charts, graphs, maps, tables, and illustrations that are larger than the standard page size, they should be folded into the manuscript so that the fold is one inch from the right edge of the manuscript. However, oversize pages complicate microfilming and should be avoided. A different layout or a photographic reduction may allow a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page to be used.
