\n\tHoppen and the family were keen to keep the album in England, where Miller\u2019s war photography was first published. For these reasons, they ultimately chose the Beaudliean Libraries. The Haupt relatives\u2019 relationship with the city of Oxford didn\u2019t hurt, either, nor did the library\u2019s \u201cextraordinarily competent\u201d conservation department.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe album, Hoppen notes, is in overall great condition, but some contract sheets have been damaged by the high acid content of the pages on which the photos have been mounted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
