Excellent!  Glad you liked the article.
I found the digitizing process interesting but I'm just kind of saturated with 
the overall look and aesthetic to have more than a passing interest in the 
images themselves.  With the resurgence of wet plate photography there a lot of 
these kinds of images with this look nowadays adding to the already huge 
historical record.  Some of the subjects were interesting and some of those 
images stood on their own, but yes to find a huge cache of these negs is 
interesting.

silver interest.  Also I was amused watching the video.  Watch the person 
working in the 1st minute or so.
