Richard asks a reasonable question about whether we intend to scan and post photographs on the web. At the present time, we do not intend to do so. There are good reasons for this. First, photographs take a great deal of computer storage space and when your collection exceeds 30,000 photographs, which exactly do you put up? Street scenes? Family reunions? Second, most archives, historical societies, and research centers have limited staffing. We simply don't have the staff it would require to scan and maintain an online archive of our photograph collections. But simply because something is not available on the web, should not detract researchers. I could probably list a dozen historical societies and libraries with collections the size of mine which will never find their way to the web for the same reasons I've enumerated. My purpose responding to the list was to (1) point out that there are many other sources of Florida photographs for researchers, and (2) they may not be all online.
