Unfortunately I cannot find any access to the near 3000 photos found but there are some online here are there showing a very small part of the collection.
Not the greatest photography or anything but I find old US City photography very interesting personally so thought I would highlight one of the articles.
All done of film obviously.
The story goes :
Six months ago, a conservancy official cleaning out an office came across two cardboard boxes that had been sitting around for decades.
Inside were 2,924 color slides, pictures made in parks across New York City’s five boroughs late in the summer of 1978. No one had looked at them for 40 years.
Until now, none of these images have ever been displayed or published. A selection of them are here and in a special print section. More will be on view from May 3 through June 14 at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park, 830 Fifth Avenue, near 64th Street.
These images were the work of eight staff photographers whose pictures normally ran in The New York Times, but who were idled for nearly three months in 1978 by a strike at the city’s newspapers.
Not long after the strike began that August, a contingent of the photographers — Neal Boenzi, Joyce Dopkeen, D. Gorton, Eddie Hausner, Paul Hosefros, Bob Klein, Larry Morris, and Gary Settle — met with Gordon J. Davis, the city parks commissioner.
They proposed to wander the city and make pictures of the parks and the people in them.
