"DLW_Dover_Salem_Street_1918_looking_west_MDV_edit_C4896.jpg" - image/jpeg, 960x542 (24bit)

Attached are a couple of the Lackawanna negatives at Steamtown that I
cleaned up a bit in the digital darkroom at home (used to be a wet
darkroom). Removing the years and the stains without altering the historic
content is time consuming, and like a painting the work is never really
finished. But viewed in a manner that more closely resembles what the
photographer saw gives our generation a better look at the details and
context of the times.

I've sent a few of the high-res restorations to Pat to add to the
collection, and some to the appropriate historical societies, and I'll keep
doing so as time permits.

These images print up beautifully.

I'm thinking that those who edit and correct the images in this collection
should add them to the collection for future historians, and to note any
changes to content if any, and their name.

I'm also noticing that I've collected Lackawanna company images that are
not in the negative collection, so as time permits I'll scan those and send
them to Pat to fill the gaps. I've seen published images, too, that are
not among the stuff at Steamtown.

The wealth of information in the photos and archives at Steamtown is so
incredible, and with eash visit the content and the organization impresses
me more.

Thanks to all who pitch in up there.

Mike Del Vecchio
