Scope and content:

Chiefly glass negatives, subdivided by storage size (4x5, 5x7, 8x10 and oversize 11x14 and 12x20. Note that negatives stored in a given size may be that size or smaller; e.g. 8x10 may contain items larger than 5x7 inches and smaller than 8x10 inches.) Within each size designation, arrangement follows the original order established by Cardinell-Vincent. Negatives were systematically numbered and captioned by Cardinell-Vincent. These numbers are unique, regardless of negative size (i.e., a single numeric run appears to have been used to number all negatives.) Also present are 124 nitrate film negatives. Descriptive entries for these occur within the listings for glass negatives, but they are stored in separate boxes (e.g. NNEG box 3)
