That is very cool site, Frank! Thanks for posting the link. Nice span of photos too, including everything from the 1906 'quake views to the modern MUNI video clip.

MUNI has a fantastic photo archive. Some years back I did a project scanning glass negatives at their photo office showing the 1905 conversion of the Lands End steam train line to electric cars. (Very cool construction pix, BTW). While my role was limited to about 50 images, I could see boxes and boxes of other glass negatives waiting to be similarly processed.

Looks like it's finally happening. Can't wait to see more!
