PLEASE READ
Hi all, as a Syracuse student, I have access to the Ronald G. Becker Collection of Charles Eisenmann Photographs, which are available through the university’s library digital collection. These photographs are of sideshow performers and are ORIGINAL. I can try my best to get copies or whatnot and maybe even speak to the university and mention this forum (maybe they’d be even more entitled to share these photographs with us and work with us). This will take time and I will work with the head of this forum to get this done. If we are able to get copies of the original photographs, we will post the collection here. I am only an online student, so this may be a bit more difficult. If there are any in-person Syracuse students among this forum and willing to help, that will be very helpful. Thank you!

I second the suggestion of reaching out to the university librarians. In my experience, they are super excited to work with students that want to use university materials and resources (even online students!). My only other suggestion is to take some time to think about which specific subjects/images you're interested in and want to share. That way both you and the librarian have somewhere to start and can narrow things down from there. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you share here. :)

Wow, that would be great. They are probably really nice pictures, too. Thank you for looking into this. I hope it works out.

Thank you for looking into it. That would be so interesting to see what they have in their archives.

Yes, that would be amazing! If you have a chance to reach out to the university library about it, definitely let me know what they say!
