A former girlfriend of mine used to work in the archival department of the BBC, which covered content and legally sensitive communications. They had big archives and their system worked; their biggest problem was educating new employees throughout the organisation, a vast bureaucracy, to use the system: that's a compliance issue, not a technical issue.

There are also a lot of issues with making it generally accessible because the NYT doesn't own the rights to simply opening up the photos to the world.
