[CT Birds] Historical Hammoasset Marsh Photo Request

[COMINS, Patrick]

Dear CT Birders:
I received a request from a researcher studying the history of salt marshes in Connecticut and figured that this group might be a good resource for such things.  They are looking for older (mid 1990s or before) photographs of salt marsh areas around Hammonasset State Park or the Neck River.  They would like to compare ground level photos with historical aerial photographs.  Thanks for any help you can provide for this important project.
