Arrangement
The Visual materials from the Janet Flanner and Solita Solano papers is predominantly filed in LOT 13259, Photographs of Janet Flanner and Solita Solano, their families, friends, and career associates; however one photograph by Berenice Abbott is filed separately in the PH filing series, which contains individual photographic prints of great aesthetic, technical, or historic importance.
LOT 13259 (H) is organized in close approximation of original scrapbook album order. Visual materials were basically in order by volume and page number. The container list describes two sections: Subject and Miscellaneous. The Subject section is listed alphabetically by the sitter's surname, while the Miscellaneous section is listed alphabetically by the title. In places where a sitter has both a married and maiden name, or a pen name, a cross-reference has been provided. If known, the year of the image is included.
Each image in volumes 21-23, and 26 corresponds to the handwritten page number in the scrapbook, usually found in the upper right corner of the page. For volumes 24 and 25, images correspond to the microfilm frame number located at the bottom of the page, as the scrapbook page number was either illegible or not annotated at all. All volumes are organized sequentially in 3-ring notebooks by page or frame number. Notebooks consist of a mixture of protective pages in assorted sizes which match different image sizes. In cases where there were no images on the original scrapbook page, a "blank" placeholder has been inserted in the notebook.
