Wow, THANKS for all this, Keith.

I will talk with Cass at SPE as she and I are on the board together and will be there in March.

I will look up all these names.  This is great!!  

As I sit here plodding along through the Rundschau...

I'm sure I saw some of the Anderson collection during that time, though I'm afraid I can't say anything about it since my memory of it is a bit fuzzy. I do recall a good deal of interesting gum work by others though, including Todd Walker, Naomi Savage, Betty Hahn, Kuhn, White, Gilpin, and others.

Catalog links for individual photographers should be much more comprehensive, though it used to be fairly easy to search by process. There are also a bunch of group portfolios (mostly from the 70s IIRC) that may not show up in regular cataloging records. Too bad the former cataloger is no longer there - she could probably give you a very accurate list right off the top of her head.

She has been head of the photo program at Pima College for must be going on 20 years now where she continues to teach an alt-process course each semester. Her own studio burned down several years ago and I don't think she has done any gum work herself in quite a while, but she used to do some interesting and innovative work in gum and meeting you might even nudge her back in that direction if they ever finish reconstruction of the studio.
