John-

I am not sure what the problem with the Buffalo Bill Research Center is….

….I had no problem bringing  up images of interest and saving them for future reference.   The site does crop direct saves, but I found I can save screen shots more than adequate for research purposes by using MW Snap, a free download program that allows you to capture anything you can see on screen.

I am grateful for any library or institution that posts photos or documents online, even if I have to do a little work to copy it for my own research purposes.

The libraries I have a problem with are like Northwestern University’s Transportation Library whose collection has obviously not been touched except by vandals for a couple of decades with much material deteriorating to dust.

Being a professional librarian your comment saddens me. Library's try to make their collection available and then get bashed, maybe they need to be like the SMU Balwin Collection or the California library that holds most of the Death Valley collection and not allow anyone on line see even what they have.  The California library won't let any one see their collection even if you are present at the site.  Then maybe you will have something to complain about. The Buffalo Bill Research Center is a upgrade library just trying to let people see their collection better so the information can get to the end user.  I worked there helping in archival of material.  To all others I apologize for my tirade, but it is people like this that makes librarians think twice about public acess to their collections.

Doug I am not impressed with that site. They make it not worth the
trouble to search other images and forget about saving a reasonable
image to view or use later. I suppose they want folks to ante up a large
amount of money for anything usable. Not going to happen from my wallet
- even if I had a lot of money I wouldn't spend it there.
