Technical Notes
The photos were taken in the 1950's and '60 with a regular camera. Most were 3 x 3 inch black and white photos. They were lightened for web use.
These pages have been designed to be used with resolutions as low as 640 x 480 in Windows. The images will look much better if you set your number of color settings to either thousands on a Mac, OR 16 bit on a Windows computer.
About the Audio files
The audio files come from reel to reel tapes that were made on a portable tape machine in the 1950's and '60's by George Foss. They were transferred to cassette tape, converted to wav files, then compressed with some great Quicktime technology into .mov files. The largest audio file was a 47 meg wav file; after Quicktime it was 1 meg, with extremely little loss of quality.
UPDATE: All .mov files were converted to .mp3 files on 22 Dec 2019
