Astronomy's 100-year heritage of photographic observations is in danger of being lost. The problem of preserving these data is complex, and a workshop devoted to this issue was held at Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) in November, 2007. Participants were from over 20 institutions and included astronomers actively using photographic data in their research, representatives of observatories holding major plate collections, archivists specializing in photographic materials, and science historians. The decisions and recommendations reached at the workshop along with a summary of the discussions will be reported.
