I wish I had the time and expertise to post such images on line. I have about 40,000 dime novels, story papers and other related items in my collection. If anyone knows of someone in the Long Island, NY area that would like to help me catalog please contact me. Joe Rainone Nice to see! Great job!

I don't know if you've contacted the librarians there, but all the contents of all the boxes are semi-catalogued here: http://library.syr.edu/digital/guides/s/StreetAndSmith/inventory/index.html You could probably request that they dig out the " MISCELLANEOUS EDITORIAL FILES" boxes and ask them if there is any record of payment to the cover artist in the following areas: Contracts Financial (per the second inventory site this includes "Art vouchers (miscellaneous), alphabetical by originator (7 folders)") Memoranda Notebooks Record books Miscellany There is a more detailed inventory, by box, here too: http://library.syr.edu/digital/guides/s/street_smith.htm#series2 Librarians and archivists LOVE a good puzzle and since these even have the contents pages it not Really a needle in a hay stack even. Looks like contacting them is easy by using the "ask a question form" in the lower right hand corner of the first site, I recomend sellecting the "Manuscripts and Archival Materials " option. Best of luck & always remember the librarian ;) Please let us all know if you have any luck.

You could probably request that they dig out the ” MISCELLANEOUS EDITORIAL FILES” boxes and ask them if there is any record of payment to the cover artist in the following areas:
Contracts
Financial (per the second inventory site this includes “Art vouchers (miscellaneous), alphabetical by originator (7 folders)”)
Memoranda
Notebooks
Record books
Miscellany
There is a more detailed inventory, by box, here too: http://library.syr.edu/digital/guides/s/street_smith.htm#series2

Librarians and archivists LOVE a good puzzle and since these even have the contents pages it not Really a needle in a hay stack even.
