I was hired in high school over my spring break to clear out approx. 50 file cabinets and move them. Inside to be trashed among 100,000s of pages were tens of thousands of photos and negatives and transparencies from the Academy Awards, plus programs and related ephemera. I was able to keep everything I could carry-virtually a full car load--including two of the envelopes actually used on stage to present the awards (Best Picture and Best Actress). I did really well with that lot over the years.
