bulk roll film and might use multiple cameras during a specific day's shooting. The contact sheets he printed were often in thematic, rather than chronological, order. He would sometimes use a copy stand and photograph other printed material. Library of Congress Before he died, knowing that he would not live to see his intention realized, Rizzuto bequeathed 60,000 photographs and the proceeds from the sale of his house, about $50,000, to the Library of Congress, on the condition that the library publish a book of his work. The library published a book described by photographic historian Michael Lesy as "bound with staples, illustrated with perhaps 60 indifferently printed reproductions of the dead man’s pictures." The bulk of the money he bequeathed went to acquire works by Diane Arbus and other notable photographers. Lesy first encountered these images in 1973 while looking for photographs of the 1950s in the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs division. He later compiled them into a longer book entitled Angel’s World: The New York Photographs of Angelo Rizzuto. Rizzuto's collection of images in the Library of Congress is still largely undigitized; as of late 2021, 1400 images are available online. The collection is described in a Library of Congress blog post as "carefully organized... by year, month, and date. The collection contains four kinds of material: (1) Contact sheets, 1952-1964, 10×10 inches... they represent all of the images in the negatives (2) Prints for an unpublished book called “Little Old New York,” 8×10 inches—all digitized and available online (3) Booklets and typescripts, filed in a supplemental archive (4) Film negatives, 1949-1967, 35mm and 120-size in 2.25 x 3.25 inches—preserved in cold storage" The Library has encountered issues processing the collection because much of the material went undescribed by Rizzuto during his lifetime.
