Re-housing O.R. Cummings' negative collection

It's been a year since O.R. Cummings passed away.  He is sorely missed - not only for his amazing knowledge of electric railways, but also for his wonderful company.

O.R. is still keeping the Library Committee busy though!  His negative collection has been digitized by Leo Sullivan and is now at the York County Community College Library for archival preservation.  We are shifting the negatives from old acidic envelopes to archival sleeves and boxes.  Roger Somers will do the data entry to capture all of the information that O.R. had recorded on the envelopes.  Many thanks to everyone who assisted, especially to Karen Dooks who facilitated the purchase of supplies.

The old and the new: progress!

We can use 4 wheel dollies for multiple purpose. Like you can carry your kitchen equipment and also can transfer them so easily without wasting your energy. So if you are a housewife or chef then you should buy dolly for you.
