History:
NEGATIVE COLLECTION: From 1970-1978, the preservation crew continued to use the 4x5" negative format used by the RSU crew, although in 1973-74, 35mm film was used. In 1979 the crew used a mix of 120mm and 35mm film. The 4x5" and the 1973-74 35mm negatives are stored in individual envelopes. The 120 and 35mm film from 1979 is stored in 3-ring albums. Negative numbers were assigned in the early-mid 1990s to the images in the bound stabilization reports, in a series beginning with the 1938 report through the 1986 report. Thus, images in the volumes are in negative order number, but this order did not correspond in any way to the film strip negative order. Negative strips have been cut and rehoused in negative order number to facilitate retrieval. During the switch of film formats, it appears that multiple cameras were used to record a single shot. Because the prints were numbered first, it is impossible to tell which format negative was used to produce the print. Thus, one print image may have both 120mm and 35mm negatives with the same number.
