Collection Overview

The slides had been lovingly (and effectively) cared for and organized, and included those images photographed by Emilie Clarkson Moore and those she acquired. The Castles were interested in St. Lawrence taking the collection so that the collection could be in climate-controlled storage. Mr. McMurray and the Castles also discussed making the collection accessible through the Frank and Anne Piskor Reading Room, and through a digital platform.
