I posted a similar thread on APUG and am hoping that at least one of these will give me some ideas.
I recently came upon what is left of Ernest Purdum's estate at a shop and after I bought a few things they threw in as a bonus a large binder with what looks like an almost complete book that supposedly Mr. Purdum was writing. I don't know what to do with it and am wondering is anyone here has any ideas. I know there's a lot of cool information in there, but I can hardly read his beautiful handwriting as English is my second language and I was never good with cursive... Along with it they also included a catalog of photographers and inventors that he collected (A-Z) and an incomplete catalog of cameras (N-Z). Any ideas? Does anyone here know where he was active, any institutions that may be interested in this?
Also, does anyone know of any examples of his actual photography? By the looks of it he really knew his stuff and I'd love to see how he put his knowledge to use.
Thank you.
