Photographs and Lithographs

March 20th (Sacramento Room)

I spent an hour discussing my work on the photograph accession register with the library's archivist.  So far I've assessed and entered notes for about 16 images.  We've agreed that I'll eventually have the opportunity to scan and upload the metadata into the library's digital collections.  I'm working with historians James Scott and Tom Tolley to find out details on some specific images of Mather Aviation School and the Coral Reef Restaurant.  Have also come across some cool images of Belle Cooledge in her younger years.  My next visit to the Sac Room will happen on Sunday, March 23rd.  Next I'll be tackling a collection of lithographs from early Sacramento newspapers - images of the Great Fires and Floods of the 1850s and 60s, early pioneer homes around Sutter's Fort, cool stuff.
