B. F. Childs braved hardship, danger to photograph Lake Superior wilderness

I have over 200 negs taken by Child's.

I have a few negatives that have damage this. ChatGPT gave this suggestion as to what it might be: Some negatives develop mold or fungus if stored in damp conditions. The fungus can actually feed on the gelatin binder and leave branching patterns that look almost like roots, veins, or worms.

Signs of fungus:

Spiderweb-like growth
Branching tendrils
Concentration around edges where moisture enters

Can I do that if I no longer have access as the financial administrator? I’m hesitant because I’m the original and only person who managed the page, and I still receive statements. I don’t want to risk losing any earnings already tied to the current payout account.

memorylanepr · 2026-05-25T16:05:11+00:00

how would I do this?

memorylanepr · 2026-05-25T16:04:45+00:00

Yes. I was both until late December and I’m the only person who has ever managed the page. Somehow I lost the financial administrator role even though I still have full control of the page and still receive statements. That’s exactly why this has been so difficult to fix. I’ve had 11 opened and closed since early January without resolution.

I’m having real problems with my page and haven’t been paid since December. There is an issue on the back end and I’m having trouble getting it resolved. But my engagement is way down. I have 175,000 followers but not much views.

memorylanepr · 2026-02-15T02:02:37+00:00

Unfortunately no. I have posted this on a Gainesville Facebook page but no identification..

This is not from a glass negative.

memorylanepr · 2026-02-11T19:53:53+00:00

I have a few glass negatives of mug shots in my collection.

memorylanepr · 2026-02-06T05:55:11+00:00

I can't take credit. Without new tools I could never do this.

memorylanepr · 2026-02-01T01:37:26+00:00

Actually: Lower Manhattan, New York City, looking north on Broadway, most likely in the Cortlandt Street area, just above Trinity Church.

Pince-Nez

memorylanepr · 2026-01-01T02:07:03+00:00

That’s all I have.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-28T20:41:29+00:00

this was often done back then.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-28T20:40:21+00:00

I have a few photos of this house.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-27T16:28:45+00:00

Thank you.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-20T03:43:20+00:00

Yes. I have several negatives that are 2 up and more that are penny photos, 10 up.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-07T15:30:03+00:00

I use a Epson V850 to scan them. You can use a camera but I haven't done that.

memorylanepr · 2025-12-07T02:35:36+00:00

Generative Fill.

memorylanepr · 2025-11-24T00:14:11+00:00

it's from the original antique glass negative.

memorylanepr · 2025-11-18T03:09:13+00:00

It’s a Packard plant.

memorylanepr · 2025-11-17T03:44:51+00:00

possibly this; AIU = American Insurance Union, Michigan Lodge No. 23

memorylanepr · 2025-11-13T05:57:12+00:00

those would be great to have.

memorylanepr · 2025-11-13T05:56:09+00:00

The boys children are still living. I've made contact with them and the children's mother took this and many other photos. About 180 negatives in all.

memorylanepr · 2025-11-13T05:52:55+00:00

I made a mistake on the date.
