Mansions of the Gilded Age Intern Assistance

Last year I inherited an extensive collection of photographs, slides, maps and plans of a 30-year collection covering the great estates of the Gilded Age. The owner knew I would give it a good home, and I will. The photo here is a lovely circa 1920's aerial photo of the Pembroke mansion, Glen Cove, Long Island, NY, which I found while going through some of the almost 20 boxes. Once you open boxes and files, you never know what gems you might find. I usually am very organized and neat; all of this will be repacked soon. This organized chaos is now part of my ongoing "Mansions of the Gilded Age Archive" project. I hope to be able to scan a great deal to post on social media, such as my Facebook groups, "Mansions of the Gilded Age" & "The Gilded Age Society" This is primarily a time-intensive project. I have found someone who can help but requires to be paid for their time of $25.00ph, which I intend on paying myself. Still, any assistance from group members would be greatly appreciated. I have set up a Go Fund Me site here for those who would like to help bring to light many images from this new collection never seen before. Thank you so much to the members who have already donated. Much more to come.
