I’m working on this huge camera collection— which is taking lots of tedious time, but should be a really interesting display later on!

CAMERA COLLECTION ALMOST COMPLETED
Work on cataloging the large collection of cameras and accessories described in the last newsletter is almost complete. The cameras vary from a 1908 Brownie No. 2A box camera up to once very pricey Pentax and Canon models dating to the 1970s. The collection includes over 40 cameras plus an assortment of flash units, lenses, and other accessories.
The museum already has on exhibit the large camera collection donated by Ben Walker years ago, and this collection is on permanent exhibit. Add to this a number of additional cameras in storage, and the museum now has a rather extensive collection of cameras and related artifacts
We are currently planning a huge – temporary – camera exhibit for later this year.

This sounds like a fascinating project. I’m amazed at how cameras have changed since the first camera I remember seeing. I guess that means I’m getting old!

A great idea for a historic exhibit. Will you include the kind of pictures each camera took?

I thought I had my own camera museum! It seems that you have to change cameras with the times. One I cry about is my old 35 mm. It took awesome photos but once digital came it didn’t make sense to use anymore.
