Each photographic image has been assigned an Item number and each image has two physical forms (1 photographic print and 1
negative). Note that multiple images appear on the same negative film strip (there are 5 film strips total).
The Items in File Unit 2 have numbers 1-12 handwritten in pencil in the upper right corners. These numbers were likely added
by the photographer and correspond to a list of photo descriptions on the Accession Receiving Report. The processing archivist
kept the photographs in this original order, but assigned new Item numbers at the time of processing in June 2013.
