Hat tip to Stuart Holmquist for the scanning work. The GN-NP Joint Archives site now features 41,727 scans of drawings, maps and photos plus an online index of nearly 100,000 AFE files - one of the largest collections of railroad material on the Internet.
In other news, Bruce Barsness is busy indexing the Cordell Newby slides at JSRH in St. Paul. When complete, we'll merge this data with the currently online collection, which will make it easier for you to search.
Thanks again to everyone who has assisted and continues to assist this effort.
