I can't even begin to fathom how many individual negatives are contained in those 40 or so boxes. Maybe a million photographs? more? It's truly an enormous body of work which takes up a volume equivalent to about a third of my not-too-small bedroom, floor to ceiling. I'm hoping to get some more faculty on board with getting it all archived or at least get some movement on getting started. Thank you very much for the story!
