(erielack) Erie's Passaic in print and contact questions



Dear list,

Following are the locations of 17 photo of Erie and EL in the streets of 
Passaic that I found in my books. Some are duplicates.  I do not have all the 
books, but I have a number of them.

Does anyone know how to contact Al Holtz because he had several views of 
interest to me, and he may have more.  

Also, who would I contact about the Robert F. Collins collection of Erie/EL 
photos?  Has it gone to the ELHS archive?
Thanks in advance,
