Royce,

Thanks! Dane has also been helping the different sources make their captions more accurate. Many of them are more than willing to make corrections. Others don't have the staff/volunteers to handle the extra work load.

Dane -- thanks for posting and for taking the time to help the libraries etc. date the items better.

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 cut off

Thanks Royce, and thanks Hap.

I have already been in touch with the library, and hope to have some sort of reply soon.

My reasons for posting the various old photos are firstly for members who are interested to enjoy, then hopefully for them to comment upon them and possibly we can all learn from those comments.

Libraries, as Hap points out, lack both the staff and knowledge to accurately caption some of the photos, that is why I try to help them out. Sometimes my comments are ignored, but some libraries respond in a positive way. I believe that accuracy is important,no matter how trivial that detail might seem to the curator at the time.

I have received thanks from the library, and the date of the photo has already been amended.

Thanks Hap and Royce.

Any help in correcting photo information I will be pleased to receive, and obviously the SLWA is one of the libraries interested in accuracy.
