The library has a collection of color photographs from the 1930s and 1940s. They started as an experiment with color film. Kodak was just putting its color film in the market. Sent it out to photographers at institutions to give it a try, to see if they could create a market for it. The pictures were free. So they were appealing to newspapers, magazines, publishing agencies, book publishers. I was familiar already with the black and white photographs. There are about 171,000 Farm Security administration and office of war information blackandwhite photographs. And i had been working with those for a few years. There was not much emphasis placed on the color transparencies, because they were hard to handle. They were unique items. Only one of each. At the time, in the 1970s, it was really diffic

Extension and public and to questions. How do you ensure that practice today . T persist i must say in my experience that no consciencey decision of anybody to come and say the wrong thing to a select the house ofto parliament or Westminster Hall whatever that may be.
