Just wanted to touch base. For the past six years, I have been working on a very detailed history of UNC basketball that will be published in 2012. I have just completed going through the Hugh Morton collection online and have found several mistakes concerning identification. Let me know if you would like my input. Thanks. Ron Smith
Hello Ron:
I have been working with the Morton team for about 19 month as a volunteer. I would very much like your input on identifications. Here is my email address: kjhilliard40 @aol.com.
I remember your adding a comment back on July 5, 2008 about the 1957 UNC-Duke basketball image (http://www.lib.unc.edu/blogs/morton/index.php/2008/02/duke-versus-unc-basketball/#comments
Thanks very much for your offer. I look forward to your book in 2012.
Sincerely,
Jack Hilliard
Hello,
Can anyone let me know if photos from Tasmania, Australia are available to view?
Hugh and Julia visited my husbands family @ 1978-9 and we’d love to see some of the very many he took while there.
Thanks!,
Maggie Shoobridge
Dear Maggie,
There are no Australian photographs online, and the collection guide (which you can view at http://www.lib.unc.edu/ncc/pcoll/inv/P0081/P0081.html) only lists some slides made during a trip to Australia and New Zealand in February 1984—including some of “Shoobridge Farm.” There is a fair amount of unidentified photographs in the Morton collection. Perhaps photographs from the 1978-79 trip are unidentified? There are also some photographs under “Shoobridge, Chris, 1988-circa early 2000s” in series 2.6, including a wedding on 18 November 1988.
Hope that helps!
Stephen
Hi there! Is there a way for readers to subscribe to your blog via email notifications?
Thanks for your question, Renee, which pointed out that I accidentally left off subscription link icons during our redesign several months back. We’ve just put two subscription buttons in the right side column, one each for posts and comments.
Our IT person said the ability to subscribe to the blog is actually built into WordPress, so in a way it was always there. He said, “WordPress automatically generates feeds for almost every part of a blog. The presence of a feed is detected by all modern browsers who then differ in how they expose that feed to the user (usually some sort of icon or message in the URL bar).” So the functionality was there all the time. The icons just make it more obvious to readers.
about 200000 slides,
i’ve >20.000..
tips/help for me ?
i’m considering doing something like this (search youtube)
My home made diascanner @ work
( i can buy that DIAPOSITIVE Rotomatic 510, but i need to do all the rest!)
but i don’t have a Reflex , just a Tz7
Regarding the October 24, 2008 post Drowning in a Sea of Slides by Amber Couch – did anyone ever explain the meaning of those numbers stamped on 35mm slide mounts. I know the frame number and date, but what are those H2, H5, H12… etc numbers? Apparently one can’t find everything on the internet!
Thanks
I spoke to a photographer today who was actively photographing in those days and he did not specifically know what they represented. His conjecture was the machine that processed the rolls of film.
