Custodial History
No clear provenance for how the the 35mm slides were created. Gift memo from Charles C. Shinn (DRS) to NLM History of Medicine Division dated 8/11/1972 discusses transfer of glass plate slides covering the same topical themes. No glass plates exist; perhaps the 35mm slides were generated from the original glass plates circa 1998 -- attached sticky note states the collection was 'accepted' on 6/12/1998.
Provenance
Gift, Charles Shinn (NIH Division of Research Services), 1972; 6/12/1998, Accession 2024-02.
