Who has Jim Dusen's photographs? (and photographs in general?)

Had a call about this, and the answer is that the bulk of what exists is in the archives, other than the most recent years. Approximately 2013 to date is all digital, stored in a site the campus photographers office has access to. For earlier years, I have all of Jim's photos, the CDs, then all the negative notebooks etc. dating c1977-2012. Prior to those, there are some photos, but also large gaps, c1964-1977. There is an extensive collection of photo negatives covering c1950-1962. Prior to that, the photos are very limited, there was no campus photographer, and often one has to search yearbooks for images. It's a complicated set of materials to describe, but that is the gist of it.


As a note, the archives does not for the most part have originals, either negatives or prints, of photos taken for the Stylus or the Saga. Generally the Stylus photographers kept their photos themselves, and the Saga were generally shot by local commercial photographers no longer in existence.
