| Series 3: Photographs |
|
This series contains photographs. The subject matter ranges from childhood activities to award ceremonies. It is divided by two large subject groupings: first--people (arranged by general categories), second--events (arranged by date). All paperwork directly related to a particular photograph has been kept with that photograph. Please note that Smithsonian Institution negative numbers are written on the back of each photograph when applicable. Sub-topics listed in the finding aid are meant to highlight particular topics in each folder and are not intended to indicate exclusive content. Please review each folder thoroughly. | ||
