    3. Anne, good idea! Mr. Calkins is not indexed in the card file in the collection at all, and the photos I found don't appear to be online. There is something on the order of 1% of the holdings on at present (as of yesterday), according to Jody Norman of the Photographic Collection, but they're scanning madly and it's growing all the time. Periodic rechecks are certainly in order! As we say "round here," "Go, Gators!"
