XML Photo Album

I have very limited knowledge about XML but trying to learn because of our project at a local historical society. We will be digitizing many documents and photographs and want to store them in a manner that will preserve the information and image.

I've been reading that using meta data is the new method being used in archival institutions. They also mention using XML.

I am thinking that creating the xml file using your program would be something that could work for us (a very small and new historical society).

It looks like this program would hold the information, attach it to the image and also link to another larger image if we wanted. On top of that it is a very small fast program.

Is what I'm thinking correct and could this be used for digital archiving? Also how large a photo album can this create. Are there limits?

Thanks for your help.
