    This is cool. I love how Bill waits for the lights to come on and goes to work. It's a good thing he cares about the cultural DNA as if it were valued pictures of his own family album

    Mind boggling... The wealth of treasures stored there...

    I'm applying for grad schools currently for archivist, and I got the basics of the field but I wanted to do more searching to help me figure out what are the reasons I wanna do this, especially for my personal statements for grad schools (hopefully this helps). And I want to say I truly connected to this video and to this archivist, like I actually understand his passion, the way he looks at all these archived photos. This was such a beautiful video and his words made so much sense to me, thank you so much for this.

    Imagine UA-cam in 90 years. Imagine someone watching this video in 90s years. It would be like looking back in time like with these pictures.

    Thank you Bill...
    I, like you, recognize photography as a very special art and science.
    I've been a pretty serious collector myself for about the last half century and
    became even more serious when I was co owner/president of a rare and collectible
    book store next to the Univ of Washington. Got to know Nicolette Bromberg and
    Wesley Weir and really got jacked up.
    Most of my collection dates from the late 1800s and goes up to the late 1980s
    Being a retired art teacher, much of my focus has been on aspects of design awa
    social relationships that I've come to term 'American Gothic'..

    Reminds me of the Vatican library. It always surprises me how a lot of really cool stuff is hoarded and locked away from the public. I pray that the art I produce never ends up locked away in some archival storage facility where only a small number of privileged individuals will be able to view it.

    It's me again--the one who loves reading old National Geographics. On a winter evening, try this great article from the August 1933 issue..."The Aërial Conquest of Everest: Flying Over the World’s Highest Mountain Realizes the Objective of Many Heroic Explorers"
    Surmounting financial, technical, and political hurdles, two skilled flight crews in British biplanes top Mount Everest and capture the contours of the land with electrically heated cameras. Great old story with the photos from the expedition. Very British.

    In 2024, National Geographic magazine will also add itself to the dust bin of history. So ironic. Hate you Disney.
