Arrangement
Collection material is arranged alphabetically by job title and sequentially assigned job numbers by the Library of Congress. Titles of jobs were transcribed from collection material and information provided by donor documents. Material within each folder is organized by format and numbered sequentially. Not all material has corresponding negatives, but where corresponding negatives were found they have been matched and numbered with their corresponding contact sheets. Surrogate contact sheets have been made by the Library of Congress when no printed representation is available in the folder.
Duplicate photographic prints have been removed from the individual jobs with the exception of contact sheets to provide access to creator and editorial markings present on many of them throughout the collection. Due to the nature of the groupings of material for publication and re-use by the creator, select photographic prints will appear in multiple jobs and have been left as they were found by staff throughout the collection.
Oversize collection material have been arranged alphabetically by job title and have been given a corresponding call number (distinguished by "-OS" at the end of the call number) of the job it is associated with. Oversize materials include photographic prints that range in size from 14" x 18" to 28" x 40" inches and is represented by the following size designations: A size, B size, C size, and MCD size.
Markings Found on Original Materials
White slips with the phrase "Intentionally left blank" were placed by Library staff to help note that items are not missing from negative and slide sheets.
Surrogates
Surrogate print-outs placed by Library staff in the collection folders also indicate material that had original markings or self-adhesive notes attached by the creator, but were rehoused or removed to stabilize collection material and show how material looked before rehousing.
