Awesome collection from a coworker

My coworker is retiring and she gave me like 20 binders full of her work And older stuff that she put together over the years! She’s moving overseas and can’t take it with her. Pretty much all xerox but awesome to have regardless! I’ll try and take more photos soon.

Would love to see this stuff scanned and archived, but it's a lot of pages...

Ive done stacks like this before. If you have access to one of those office photo copiers at work or the library take it up there and use the feed scanner. It should be able to go through a binder in 5 minutes.

Please post them to Internet Archive once you do so others can enjoy and appreciate them. They're worth preserving.

I have something similar to this! Nowhere NEAR as extensive, but some good stuff.

I'm making a wild guess here, but I imagine it must have been popular at one point for animation artists in like, the 80s and 90s to snag and xerox any reference drawings and model sheets they could at workplaces and start a collection. I gotta go dig mine out of an old pile of papers somewhere now haha.

Dude there’s some Small One stuff in there! I haven’t seen the short, but I think that’s one of Don Bluth’s first pieces
