Tina,

I agree with Douglas. I can see why you would want to have them in one
place - but with backups of course :-) - nonetheless I think a selection
would serve you, the photos and the subjects better.

They are an amazing anthropological collection as well as excellent
photos. For research/reference/history the collection as a whole needs
to be available, but I can't absorb 500 of that high quality in the way
that they deserve to be.

I also agree with him about my favourite!

Peter
