What to do with a photographer's life work...


I wonder how long that would tale to do with a lifetime of work. I'm guessing...way too long.
 
It's a lot of work to find a home for these sorts of archives. Negatives are - as odd as it may seem - not of interest to most places.

If you can get a grad student from a place like Ryerson University interested in the project, that might be your best bet. Trying to think positively about things, it could very well be a good time to solicit this sort of help. Many students in Ontario have time on their hands right now due to covid lockdowns.

Having digital examples of the work will help your cause.
 

my sincere condolences for your loss Froeschli.
Your question I think is on a lot of people's minds. Your local, regional and national archives might be able to offer you some advice on how to catalog and index the work. Sounds like wonderful fun for a free intern.

I too offer my sincere condolences for your loss.

All things considered, it might be better to just wait a bit, if you can, before doing anything.
 
I'm sorry for your loss.
Please do not dispose of them. They are irreplaceable. Even the ones you may think are mundane now, may prove to have historical value later.
In the meantime, if you could arrange an exhibit of his work in a local gallery, or library, I think it would be a fitting honor to a man who spent much of his life making photographs.
