I’ve finally gathered all of the supplies needed to make this project happen. I’ll be dedicating a day per week to this effort and will post scans here once I have them. If you are interested in giving me some additional insight into this process or the images you see, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
Supplies for cleaning and repairing glass negatives
The plate before cleaning. The paper label is falling apart and black tape had been wrapped around the edges but has started to fall off, leaving brittle and sharp edges exposed.
“181447 Austrians behind their breastworks at the Sa(n?v?u?)e River near the Austrian frontier”
Are they all published by Underwood and Underwood? I think they could be lantern slides and not negatives if so.

Interesting! Yes about half of them are from underwood and underwood… anything with a typed caption from me included. The others are all unadorned, just wrapped in black tape.
