Your information is right up to the point, but the June 22 article implies that the Brace collection has been separated from the overall Rogers archive. But there is a big, fat question mark as to where they went or how they were sold or going to be sold.

An except from that:

In other orders at the hearing, Piazza approved:

* A request by affiliates Digital First Media of New York to enter the case. In a separate lawsuit, Digital First accused John and Angelica Rogers of fraud, breach of contract and selling its copyrighted images and asked for the return of its newspaper archives.

* Digital First's request for a temporary restraining order to prevent the sale of its disputed archives. Rogers acquired the archives of 21 newspapers operated by Digital First.

* A settlement contract between the receiver and Fairfax Media Management PTY Ltd. to complete an archive digitization contract. Fairfax rescinded its $244,000 sales contract with Rogers after learning that he was selling photos before providing a digital copy of its archives. The Fairfax photos came from the Sydney Morning Herald and other publications in Australia and New Zealand, as well as some photographs from non-Fairfax sources.

* A $150,000 working capital loan request by McAfee to fund the Fairfax contract. The loan is from First Arkansas Bank & Trust.

* The receiver's request to sell part of the epic George Burke & George Brace Collection of an estimated 250,000 original negatives of baseball players.
