:Hi - let me see what I can do. So excited that the contact sheets are getting use! Thanks. I'll be back in touch on this page. [[User:Bdcousineau|Bdcousineau]] ([[User talk:Bdcousineau#top|talk]]) 14:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks very much! I added a bunch of categories to that one for everyone in the shots. I discovered that John McCone doesn't have a cat yet and I will create one for him. I don't know who Edward Carter is and he doesn't seem to have images here or an article in en:wp. This may be a pain to do for all of your contact sheets and I don't know how much it will help others. Does the library intend scan and upload any shots that we can find useful for the projects? I mostly come across articles in en:wp and then try to fix ones that need images or better ones. The above one is the only licensed one we have for [[w:Jennifer Grant]] at this point.--[[User:Canoe1967|Canoe1967]] ([[User talk:Canoe1967|talk]]) 15:36, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

:::Appreciate your hard work. The contact sheets were an experiment to see how much use they might get ~ most of the images on the contact sheets have not been scanned elsewhere. Generally, while the images are in the public domain, the Library charges $17US to create a hi-res scan from a contact sheet if the image has not been scanned already. As an employee, I can request occasional scans and will work to accomodate editors' needs. It was made clear that unlimited free scans would not be forthcoming. This is not uncommon at many institutions that believe they will lose significant funding by making their collections free. If you provide me with a list of what you are interested in (similar to what you did with [[:File:Jennifer and Cary Grant Gerald Ford enhanced image.jpg]]) I'll work through it over time, but it might be a slow process. However, you have given me a good idea, and I will also look into possible external funding to "scan and upload any shots that we can find useful for the projects". I'll look tomorrow for Mrs. Trudeau, and I should also be getting a better scan of your original request by Thursday. Sorry if in the end, the contact sheets are just a teaser!
