Abstract

Abstract An index sheet formed of one recording sheet on which are printed, as small-size positive images in parallel rows, a plurality of scenes recorded on an image recording medium such as, for example, a photographic film, a still video floppy, a video cassette, or a video disc. The small positive images are arranged in the same order they were taken, and frame numbers are printed in juxtaposition with the respective positive images. To produce such an index sheet, a plurality of strips of negative are copied onto photographic paper in a reduced size with the negative strips inserted in a negative sheath. For a magnetic or optical image recording medium for a very large number of images, a lesser plurality of scenes read out are edited in such a manner as to arrange in a representative sample and thereafter are printed on a recording sheet. This index sheet can be part of a package comprising a container having a casing formed with at least one recess for the image recording medium and/or printed photographs, and a cover swingably mounted on the casing. A transparent pocket formed on the outer or inner side of the cover contains the index sheet.
