Charles Weever Cushman, amateur photographer and Indiana University alumnus, bequeathed approximately 14,500 Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater. The photographs in this collection bridge a thirty-two year span from 1938 to 1969, during which time he extensively documented the United States as well as other countries.

I think we won't have a visual reference to a time period like we used to considering most photos are digital now. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe in 2030 digital photos will look diff than they do now
