The inventory to the Delmar Daves' cartoon collection is arranged exactly as the Files came to Stanford University. Mr. Daves
had a broad subject arrangement subdivided by further subject classification within the broad areas. The classification does
not follow an alphabetical arrangement and in some instances there is a repetition of subjects. However, no attempt to reorganize
the collection has been made.
The inventory is an exact duplication of the subject files and serves as a very general index. Under each subdivision the
individual cartoons, often three or four to a page, are mounted on large legal sheets. The collection is contained in six
legal file drawers.
