[SOA] college archives and photos that used to go into yearbooks

[Dean DeBolt]

Our public relations staff are putting all their photographs into smugmug.
We were able for several
years to simply import them into our server to make them available.  One of
their staffers today asked
me why there were no 1999-2002 photographs on smugmug and I had to explain
that website did not
exist then and the office transferred thousands of negatives to us that are
unidentified or in no particular
order and we have not the staff to keep up with them.
