Series VI. Photographs and Digital Media, 1990s-2000s, inclusive
Scope and Contents
Series VI contains photographs and digital media of events Eugenia Flatow attended and was likely instrumental in planning. Most of these events were coordinated by the New York City Soil and Water Conservation District (NYCSWCD), and the photos feature school children participating in activities in natural resource areas all over New York City. The digital media in this series predominately documents activities of the NYCSWCD through photographs and a Microsoft Access database.

Scope and Contents
Subseries VI.B. consists of 10 CDs containing 610 MB (449 files) of photographs and a Microsoft Access database for the New York City Soil and Water Conservation District (NYCSWCD). The bulk of these files are digital versions of the photographs contained in Subseries VI.A. Photographs. The photos mostly depict NYCSWCD events, such as the Envirothon, but also include images of natural resource areas in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. The database contains information relevant to an unidentified conference, including preliminary panel information and contact lists. A manifest of the digital files is available from the reference librarian on request.
Each of the entries in the container list represents one CD and the title is based on the labeling from the physical CD. Each CD contains many individual files. Some of these files may not be accessible due to file corruption or because the library does not have the proprietary software necessary.
Arrangement
The first 10 entries represent one CD and the title is based on the labeling from the physical CD. The digital files from each CD may be requested. The last entry represents the physical CDs, which can be requested to view but are restricted from being used.
