Arrangement

Folders were organized based on envelopes, folios, and albums containing photograph and ephemera groupings. Envelopes were kept with the photographs they contained. When housing for photographs was discarded due to fragility, photographs of the original housing were taken, printed, and included with the corresponding photographs in the folder.
