Temporary records

Records which have either limited value or are valuable for short periods of time and will ultimately be destroyed.

Tintype (also called ferrotype and melainotype)

A positive image formed by exposing a thin varnished sheet of iron coated with sensitized collodion (gun cotton dissolved in alcohol and ether) in a camera. Used almost exclusively for inexpensive portraiture.
