Help Imagineer Rolly Crump write his memoirs, send in your vintage Disney photos!

Jeff is helping a legendary Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump write his memoirs, and rather than wrestle with Disney archives for access to photos of Crump's work, he's hoping fans will be able to supply them.

He writes, "We need your help, oh great citizens of the Internet! I'm writing a book with former Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump, and we're looking for some old photos for it that you may have in your collection. We're looking for stuff from his time at Disney (such as Adventureland Bazaar in 1963, Tower of Four Winds, The Enchanted Tiki Room in the 60s, It's A Small World at World's Fair, The Land in 1980s) and his outside work (like Bear-y Tales at Knott's Berry Farm, Circus World, and Busch Gardens). Anything that Rolly has brought to life, we'd love to see your photos of it. We will gladly give you credit AND a signed copy of the book if we use your images!"

We need your help! (Thanks, Jeff!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This is a great service, but it’s a great pity they can’t call on the Disney Archives for this. Seems like an ideal use of those records.

  Oh, trust me, it WOULD be ideal. However, they are very over protective of their images, and it’s a very long, legal process to even begin looking at them. And then, not to much the money factor if you want to use one. That alone costs more than the budget of the entire book itself!
