In 2016, Bill Barton shared his collection of glass plate negatives taken by Edward Darling (1874 – 1962). The glass plates have been stored away for decades, but I was able to develop the negatives into high-resolution black-and-white photos. Jeanne Langmaid Engel’s collection of Darling negatives was shared by the Ipswich Museum, processed by David Stone.
