1. No, they will take any kind of film images. The newer ones I submit as
Reportage, the older ones as Archival. I don't think it makes any
difference which category you choose. You can put in the description or
keywords that they are film images.
2. The Archival and Reportage images are included in any search for the
keywords. There is a disclaimer in the description of the photo but I have
never had a photo refused because of it:
More information:
This image could have imperfections as it’s either historical or
reportage.
Hope this helps!
