North of the border we don't take colour slide or B&W print photographs, and haven't done for a long time. Our national archive repository doesn't take slide or print film any more (from new projects, obviously with historic projects that will be all that is available to archive) and so we archive digital only, and none of the curators up here insist on slide/B&W. Hasn't caused us any problems so far. The end of the world is not nigh. Taking photos in RAW format uses up massive amounts of memory/data storage, as do tiffs, and I personally see no great concern with continuing to use standard jpegs.
