Cottage Interior – National High School Orchestra Camp Interlochen, Michigan- from David Tinder collection, U of Michigan Library
Toronto. MiPHS member and good friend of many PHSC folk, Cynthia Motzenbecker, sent this copy of Anne Bennington-Helber’s email message to the PHSC and others: “I wanted to share the GREAT news that the real-photo postcard series from the David V. Tinder Collection of Michigan Photography is LIVE.
“Emi and her team have done a great job coordinating this massive project and we’re so excited to make this AMAZING collection available online. Thank you for all your contributions and support of this endeavour.
“As Clayton shared with me this morning, Dave would be impressed by this news. Feel free to share with the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.”
As we are a member of our sister society across the lake, we are delighted to promote this resource at the University of Michigan Library. You can leap right in to the archive content here. The U of M Library plans to upload all of the Tinder Collection of historic photographs once they are scanned (some 100,000+!).
One word of caution, the University quotes its copyright standard as follows, “The University of Michigan Library provides access to these materials for educational and research purposes. These materials may be under copyright. Where possible, we indicate more about our rationale for hosting these materials on the item pages. If you decide to use any of these materials, you are responsible for making your own legal assessment and securing any necessary permission.”
