Django Model Class Missing in Admin

For some reason, the classes archive and album show all of their fields in the django admin panel, but image isn't showing an album field when I go to add an image to the image panel. If I open a shell, it shows that album is a subset of image, it just isn't showing up in the image's admin interface (but it does through the CLI). Why?

class archive(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
    archivedata = models.TextField(blank=True, help_text="Documentation for album/image.archivedata methodology is put here")
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

class tag(models.Model):
    archive = models.ForeignKey(archive)
    tag = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.tag

class album(models.Model):
    archive = models.ForeignKey(archive)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(tag, blank=True, help_text="Searchable Keywords")
    archivedata = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True, help_text="Data specific to particular archiving methods or processes can be stored here")
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

class image(models.Model):
    album = models.ForeignKey(album)
    archive = models.ForeignKey(archive)
    imagefile = models.ImageField(upload_to='ns/') #image.width/height
    title = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank=True, help_text="Descriptive image title")
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(tag, blank=True, help_text="Searchable Keywords")

Update: Including my admin.py per request:

from django.db.models import get_models, get_app
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.admin.sites import AlreadyRegistered

def autoregister(*app_list):
    for app_name in app_list:
        app_models = get_app(app_name)
        for model in get_models(app_models):
            try:
                admin.site.register(model)
            except AlreadyRegistered:
                pass

autoregister('appname')

I do not see any problem do you have some extra code in admin? Some code that overrides the album field ?

Your admin.py file should typically look like this.

from django.contrib import admin

admin.site.register(archive)
admin.site.register(album)
admin.site.register(image)

Based on your admin.py I would do this. 

autoregister('archive', 'album', 'image')

That said a few pointers - Your admin.py is a bit overly complicated and not needed when 3 lines will suffice. Additionally you should be naming your models in uppercase (Archive, Album, Image)
