        This may be a marvelous (for lack of a better term) marketing
opportunity for your college's PR arm...perhaps a webpage and/or printed
flyer could be designed and sent out to alums. Most so often get asked for $
but less so for their involvement. If time is not an object, perhaps a "can
you identify these people" rotational display of sample images could be
regularly put in place at annual class reunions, staff gatherings, etc. with
an obvious telephone # or email address to call/reply. FYI: the better
(Canon, et al) color photocopiers can take a 35mm slide and generate an
8.5x11 inch paper copy that rivals a photo glossy, all for mere cents per
page...an effective, cheap means of displaying slide images without the
hassles.

        I hate to use the hackneyed "think outside the you-know-what"
phrase, but it might be a different method of creating localized archives
and library awareness within not just your institution but beyond its
campus.

        Best of luck!
