Other Descriptive Data:
The series is divided naturally into three subseries: Photographs, Slides, and Negatives. Photographs are arranged by subject, and within subject chronologically. Slides are arranged by subject matter, after having been removed from metal and plastic slide drawers. Original order was largely kept with few exceptions. Negatives are also arranged by subject.
Processing Information:
Original Box 92 which contained slides had an overwhelming musty smell and almost all of the slides were pink. Because the slides were works of art by masters, the images could easily be found in any art history text book. Examples of artists include: van Gogh, Durer, Picasso, Gorky, Rembrandt, Braque, etc. The slides in box 92 were discarded.
