Processing Information

The pages of the scrapbook have a unique numbering system:

Newspapers Roman numerals I - V Photographs Arabic numerals 1-239 Publications 5 + decimal numbering 5.1 – 5.18 Miscellaneous items Arabic numeral + a 1a - 56a

Some loose items were not numbered. The salmon labels (two facing pages and a loose mylared page containing more labels between them) were not numbered.

In April 2007 the loose items at the beginning were given i and ii page numbers. The two items found together between (fully numbered) pages in the middle were moved to the end and given numbers based on this system. They did not pertain to the pages in which they were found in particular. The salmon can labels were given the numbers L -1 through L-10. Conservation was done on items to stabilize them for handling and exhibit. Unattached but numbered items were reattached or put in a separate folder. MAS 4/6/07

This volume 1 was microfilmed in April 2007.
