Since lately there have been several posts regarding photographs, lantern
slides, and film, I offer this number to help 800-242-2424. It is for
Kodak, and if anybody in the country knows how to handle film, or where to
refer you for help, it is Kodak. I was given the number by a HABS/HAER
photogarapher.

go out in the field, dig into the earth, and find out what was there"
