Archival HistoryNegative/Contact Print Envelopes arrived in original Kodak boxes as organized by Bob Mizer.  However, in the decade since his death, items had become extremely disorganized as many hands had gone through them.  In 2004, Dennis Bell restored Mizer's original order using his original alphanumeric filing systems. Negatives were separated from contact print sleeves in 2014 and relocated to their own archival housings, in a parallel system. Database import [2014], updated [2019].
