In another lifetime, I used to work at the Associated Press and had the opportunity to go through many of their historical prints in the old files. They wanted to dispose of them but I convinced them to let me keep about 100 of them – I have many from presidential photos, WWII (including the Normandy invasion), famous persons, etc…
I have a small (about 300) collection of antique photos, including a couple of daguerreotypes and some old family shots including one of a woman who died in the Triangle fire.
Nothing like this however – If I had the space and time, I’d start with the stereoscopic images (which are very cool) along with some other goodies.
