Various Collections – September 1992
In September of 1992, Jones wrote an email appraising the state of the SunSITE collections:
“Our student Jonathan Magid has done a bang up job of gathering "good stuff" at SunSITE and we're getting over 200 ftp 
sessions per day during the week and about 120-150 per day on the weekends. Thanks to Jon we have an incredible 
collection of sounds and we should have the Smithsonian photo archives in gif format by Educom (or shortly after). We've
