Overcoming Legacy Processing In Photographic Collections Through Collaboration And Digital Technologies., Terri Holtze, Rachel I. Howard, Randy Kuehn, Rebecca Pattillo, Elizabeth E. Reilly

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

In the 1960s, a Louisville photography studio began donating its negatives, prints, and invoices to the University of Louisville Photographic Archives.
