PICTURE FILES
Monthly newsletter for Mail Mag, risograph, 5.5x8.5”, various papers
Organizational spreadsheet
Each month I write about one drawer from the SDPL’s Picture File, which contains 152 drawers of file folders of pictures cut out from magazines and books. An incomplete archive, the library stopped updating it over a decade ago. I use a random number generator to pick which drawer to write about each month.
