Nitrate conversion: Film negatives from 1920 to 1938 were composed of cellulose nitrate, a highly flammable and inherently unstable medium used prior to the advent of 'safety' film. Due to the volatile and rapidly-degrading nature of this film, most of the negatives were culled for views and scenes (e.g., anything besides straight portraiture), and the balance disposed of. No portraits are available that were taken on nitrate film. The views and scenes deemed worthy of retention were contact-printed, and the negatives disposed of. The resulting prints were identified with date and negative number and filed accordingly, along with the balance of the collection dating from 1938 (that year contained both nitrate and safety film) to 1994.
