Arrangement

The photographs in this collection were previously listed individually and numbered. This folder numbering system has been maintained but intellectually reorganized to aid in access. The collection is arranged in five series, three of which have been further arranged into subseries. When possible the titles with the same subject have been grouped together within the subseries then ordered numerically by folder number. The only exception to this is in the University of Colorado Boulder subseries "Buildings" and "Greek Societies" which have been alphabetized. The series and subseries arrangement of this collection is as follows: Series 1, General Series 2, Buildings Subseries 1, Bridges Subseries 2, Businesses Subseries 3, Dams Subseries 4, Dwellings Subseries 5, Power-plants Subseries 6, Schools Series 3, Landscapes Subseries 1, General Subseries 2, Cities and Towns Subseries 3, Mountains Series 4, Mining Series 5, University of Colorado Boulder Subseries 1, General Subseries 2, Buildings Subseries 2, Greek Societies
