So these file cabinets here that are the photographic ones, they’re full of images that have been generated over the decades by the BBT. It started out as a simple file cabinet with just a few black and white pictures. The photographs were essentially generated for Back to Godhead magazine. So they were mostly in black and white and then later on as color was developed.

So in this area we have in the ISKCON pictures we have the magazines, the books, other publications that were used for the photographs.

There are log books that explain the data, the metadata on certain parts of the photographic collection. So it has expanded greatly from just a couple file cabinets to this many.

So the film needs to be preserved in a cool to freezing environment depending on the kind of film. We’ll see that last in the photo vault.

Here we have, for example, the art transparencies that were used for the books, and we’re re-leving them to something like this from something like this. You can see this is all dogeared and everything. So put it on pause while I put it back.
