Who to write to

Address: THE PLATE, Paris, France. The archive is in the basement; the door on the street is the picture desk.
Commissions: commissions@example.com — answered within two working days, by a person, including when the answer is no.
Archive research: commissions@example.com, marked "archive" — the archivist answers with a folder rather than a search page, and it is free either way.
Photographers: One or two are taken on each year. Send thirty frames from one place rather than a portfolio, and say how long you have lived there.
Objections: If you are in a photograph of ours and object to it, write to the office and mark it for the panel. The photographer who made it does not sit on it.

Picture desk: Monday to Friday, 9h to 18h. Closed the first two weeks of August, when nobody is shooting.
The archive: Tuesday to Thursday, by appointment, and you may handle the sheets with the archivist in the room.
Print viewing: Second Thursday of the month, 17h to 20h. Twelve prints from one project, and whoever shot it is usually there.
Visits: By arrangement, except in the week an assignment is being edited.
