Hello.

Have visited quite a bit of late, but having hand surgery tomorrow that will see me unable to drive until probably the end of January.

Can add to other look up's I'm committed to then, assuming Auckland Archive staff have access to all storage stacks.

Alan.


All good if someone can get there sooner.

Greetings again lil

Been a mission. First day away from home, on my own, in two months, and after an hour and a bit of driving. At archives having half filled the camera with images, I fumbled it when returning it to the angled copying table. After retrieving it from the carpeted floor, it refused to work telling me to turn it off then on again. Next day would not download stored images NOR were the 20 subsequently taken with my G3 phone any good to blow up, for hand writting transcribing. Also some photos were not steady enough, when taken by my right hand. Had been a big day for it. Drastic measures, before consigning old faithful to the rubbish bin finally unlocked the lens.

Fortunately was able to return to the Auckland archive, a couple of times, and I think got most requests covered.  With luck I will get time tonight to prepare photos for forwarding.

As I don't appear to have a personal email address for forwarding photographs, could you please PM one. To the others your images will be forwarded over the next couple of days as well.

Alan.

Pleased you got them. Tried to keep them under 8mb but was concerned your provider might have thought you were being bombed out with SPAM.

Alan.
