Sanders H. Milens (1938- ) Historic Vermont Buildings Photographs, ca. 1980s FB-145.1 & 145.2 Introduction This collection contains negatives and contact sheets of black and white photographs created by Sanders H. Milens for the Preservation Trust of Vermont, in the 1980s, and probably for the two books published by the Trust at that time, A Celebration of Vermont's Historic Architecture (1983) and Vermont's Historic Architecture, A Second Celebration (1985). The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Mr. Milens in 2014. Commercial use of the images in the collection is prohibited without the donor’s consent during his lifetime. The collection is stored in two flat archival boxes. Biographical Note Sanders H. Milens, Missourian by birth (1938), Vermonter by choice (1968) graduated from Northwestern University and the New York Institute of Photography. He made commercial photography his vocation beginning in 1964. A substantial portion of his work was photographing some 400 buildings for the Preservation Trust of Vermont. As of August 2018 he was living in Burlington with his wife, Muffie. Organization The collection is organized by format: 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ negatives and contact prints (CS&N) in one box and 4x5 negatives and prints in the other box. The first series is separated into contact prints and negatives; each sub-series is arranged by Mr. Milens’ roll numbering system. In the second series 4x5 contact prints are attached to their respective negative. These 4x5 negatives and prints are arranged by county as it was by Mr. Milens. Within each county the images are arranged by Mr. Milens’ negative number. The table below provides a town index to all the images. The researcher will need to note the size and number and county of each image to retrieve the image from the appropriate box. A table is also arranged by county and negative number.
