“白色手套待遇”和一个主要奖品。

There’s been precious little cataloging this week, as we’ve been working on an inventory of the 8 x 10 prints in the HRPE collection. The 8 x 10s from HRPE have been in cold storage since the 90s, when the cold storage room was installed, and have barely been touched by anyone since then. They lived in folders in drawers until about two weeks ago, when we began moving the folders into boxes and the boxes into cool storage to begin thawing out before being moved over to the library for a complete inventory. Many of the 8 x 10s have more information on the backs than the 4 x 5s do, which will allow us to better describe the images as we catalog them, going forward.

这些印刷品与其他集合的其余部分一样，从未被编目或清点过任何程度，超越了它们，并将它们放入数字顺序，但上周结束发现我们在非全文材料方框中找到了我们。这些照片正在获得“白色手套处理”，因为裸手中的油可以污染表面。袖子意味着未来不需要白色手套，也使他们更容易处理 - 虽然手套保护照片，有光泽的表面和棉花手套，可预测，在一起，滑动。在此过程中，我们还拆除了杂散的纸夹，并用其照片将分离的阳离子插入套管中，防止了未来的损坏。我们还在提供足够的文件线上提供足够的纸夹来持续下来。

In going through these boxes, we got a chance to get a better overview all at once of the collection, and to see sections that our colleagues will be handling. It has also led, unexpectedly, to discovering a real prize.

Some time ago, through this blog, the library was contacted by a former HRPE employee, a stenographer in the office of Major W. R. Wheeler. At the beginning of this project Jay Moore, the library archivist, renewed the correspondence. Her name at the time was Virginia A. Boyd, and she is listed in the introduction toThe Road to Victory, Major Wheeler’s history of the HRPE. Today we found a group photo with Major Wheeler and his staff — Miss Boyd is in the back row, third from the right. Now that we know the face to look for, perhaps we will find her in other pictures as well!
