Research Documents Page 1 of 2
These research documents represent a desire on my part to know more about some aspect of a photo or document in my collection. Sometimes I have images of the same subject and I have collected all of those images into one document to see how they have changed over time. Sometimes it is a question about something in the image that I want to find out more about. Sometimes there is a mystery about an image and I am trying to track down and solve that mystery.
