Last October Sherman started to digitize his 1970s silver gelatin print collection with the plan to find a permanent home for his print archives. Most of the prints made during that decade were sent to his New York photo agency to be licensed to magazines, book publishers, and advertising agencies. The prints were returned when the agency closed and were stored in Sherman’s office for the next 30 years.
The 1970s coverage included political figures, business leaders, civil rights personalities, sporting events, and everyday people from all walks of life. Sherman’s assignments were for Life, Time, Newsweek, US News, Business Week, New York Times, and the Washington Post.
His next project is to edit the 500,000 black and white negatives and color transparencies made in the 1960s to the 1990s that were not printed in the 1970s and to digitize the selections so they can be added to his web site photo archives.
