Curatorial Note:

Pictures are overexposed when too much light enters the aperture, producing images that are washed out and lacking detail. Most of the images on this strip appear overly bright because they were overexposed. When Museum staff scanned this negative strip in 2012, they used photo editing software to try to correct the overexposure, allowing us to see some detail in the images that was not visible before. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
