Jimmy LeidermanI was able to examine the photograph boxes in person, back in October.
Amazing material and many photographs have been recovered after being "lost".
One good thing is that the photo collection has been completely digitized and is already available to view on NYPL computers as a beta test, and probably just a few months away from being uploaded for public access.
Drop me a line if you need any tips on how, where and what to look at the NYPL.
