The guide is derived from USF's original database, created by their project staff. It includes title, narrative description,
and keyword description of the material. Numbering was assigned by project staff and seems to be random. For example, some
multi-part videos are not assigned consecutive numbers. The sound cassette (item no. 270) was included in the numbering, so
it has been left with the videotapes.
