Sorry. I inadvertently sent this to only Phil instead of the whole list.

I have an agreement with a fellow foamer that if one us checks out
prematurely the other will see that something constructive is done
with the decedent's photos. Beyond that, catalog and make formal
arrangements for the disposition of your photos. It would be nice if
there was a central archive for our work. Of course, we each think that
we have great work of immense historical value. Maybe yes, maybe no.
Who will determine this? If you suddenly inherited a photographer's
photo collection (assuming well done work, labeled and artistically or
historically significant) what would you do with it to ensure he had not
worked in vain? What would you want done with your work?
