The collection is roughly sorted by artist or topic. Individual item ID numbers were assigned to many items at some point in the past, but those numbers are no longer used.

This collection was assembled by staff of the Friends Historical Library throughout the the mid-late 20th century.
Processing Information
In 2023, the binders which were storing the collection at that point were disassembled. Obvious duplicates were thrown away, and the remainder were placed in folders. For the most part, topics written on the back of the images were maintained; in some cases, topics were changed. Individual item ID numbers had been assigned at some point in the past, but were not maintained, and the collection was no longer in order according to those ID numbers. The ID numbers were ignored during reprocessing.
