Oconto County Historical Society is seeking a new home for a free-standing,
wing-revolving photo display stand. If anyone would like a photo of
it, or
rough dimensions, let me know. We've tried it out in the Coppe
r museum but it's
just too big for that little room we have. I believ
e it holds 9 removable wings
that are double-sided.

Subject: Re: Question old glass negatives
I know just a little a
bout them...someone saw some advertised on Ebay that were
photos of the
Lake Geneva area. I didn't want to pay what they were asking and
wait
ed until the bidding was over and eventually purchased them for half the
price they were asking. This was recently and I have not had a chance
to do
anything with them. A retired local photographer said he has a
way of printing
them in probably an 8 x10 size. I intend to look at
them closely and print a
few. I know the Yerkes Observatory in Willia
ms Bay has the second largest
collection of glass negatives. I believ
e the Smithsonian has the largest. They
have some framed between glas
s and they are quite attractive, however I have
been told that could rui
n them in time being exposed to the light. I think I
will find some t
hat I don't care about and frame them like that just for
interest and di
splay. If I get to this project soon, I will report about the
printin
g and framing. There are always too many things to do, as many of you
already know....
