COLLECTION ARRANGEMENT
A photocopy of the Job Lists for Visual Services is available in the
Reference Room. The job lists indicate the date and subject of photography
assignments. Assignment numbers consist of year, month, and day. Example:
7043=April 3, 1970. During the mid 1980's there was a slight change to the
numbering system. During these years a leading A was used to replace the number
8. Example: A40801=August 1, 1984. Halfway through 1985, the numbering system
returned to its original form. The assignment numbers refer to both the
negatives and corresponding contact sheets. The contact sheets should be
consulted first. If no contact sheet is in the box indicated then the negative
rolls from the file cabinets can be used.
