Hi, Colin;

    That would be me who made those 35mm slides of the key frames from
the
1932 solar eclipse film.  The original film was actually 16mm (as 8mm
didn't appear until the 1940's).  I did that archiving project late in
1980's or early 90's (I will need to look that up).

    Does anyone know where the original film is being kept? Hope it's
still in HC's posession somewhere - or at least is being stored
somewhere safe (not that we have a projector for it anymore - and
anyway, it would likely be too brittle to project).  But it is now
possible to digitally duplicate 
it completely frame by frame for animation on a pc.   A worthy project.

    There are also some b/w 35mm slides made from HC's old lantern
slides by former member Garry Woodcock.  Those are archived here.

    As for identifying the folks in the photos, a detailed search of the
Centre's hand-written or typed minutes may reveal some names.  I have
copies of the minutes archived here.

    Hope this helps with your project.  If you wish more info call me at
905 383-7875, or email.

thanks,
Eric Golding
