    1. [Tri-Counties] Old Photographs at Historical Society
    2. Bill Benson
    3. Speaking of Old Photographs, How does one "harvest" the thousands of old photos at the Bradford County Historical Society from long distance? One of their customers said they are all "neatly cataloged," but is there an indexed listing of the names of people in the photographs that could be made available online? Is there any photo service in Towanda that can turn these into prints? Are there any projects underway to turn the photos into digital images? I am speaking of the "reprints of Ott & Hay Photographic Glass Negatives - 13,500 glass plate negatives 1890 to 1905 from Ott and Hay studio in Towanda, all labeled. Includes photos of residents throughout Bradford County." Bill Benson p.s. for more on glass plate negatives see: http://www.daytonhistory.org/glass_neg.htm - NCR owns 100,000!
