+''[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350530306_A_basic_guide_to_specimen_photography_in_museum_collections A basic guide to specimen photography in museum collections]'' (Callomon 2021). This work was created as part of a series on photographing natural history specimens in a workroom or laboratory, but it should be useful for any project that requires “record photography” of relatively small objects. That term defines the basic purpose of the image: to create the most objective possible representation of an object so that it can compared with other similar ones. It is hoped that this will prove a practical guide that assists museum workers in setting up programs to produce large numbers of high-quality images. Some basic photographic principles are explained and options for equipment and techniques are presented, with specific reference to digital cameras.

A practical guide to making the photography mounts used in the Department of Malacology, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia.
+''[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331044326_Standard_views_for_imaging_mollusk_shells Standard views for imaging mollusk shells]'' (Callomon 2019). This stand-alone paper gives examples of standard poses and view sets for use in photographing mollusk shells. Standardization of orientation allows morphological comparisons within and across projects.
