Collection
Identifier: RG 32-002
Scope and Contents
This classification is distinct from RG 32/5, photographs arranged by subject, and it is unclear as to why earlier Archives staff made that decision. Researchers will need to consult the inventories of both groups to discover photographs arranged by subject. In future, the Archives staff may reorganize the photographic prints to consolidate these two subject-driven groups. A significant amount of material relates to alumni groups and activities, student life, and the World War II V-12...

Photographs: Oversize Prints
Collection
Identifier: RG 32-010
Scope and Contents
Photographs: Oversize Prints is an artificial classification for prints larger than legal paper size (8.5 x 14”). These prints, if smaller than oversize, would have been relegated to the subject classifications used for smaller photographs such as portraits, buildings, and so on. A wide range of subject matter and types of images fall into this group. The physical sizes of the prints determined the way in which they were boxed.
When this group of photographs was first organized...

The subject headings were locally derived and do not adhere to any controlled vocabulary.
The older prints, dating from the 1850s to the later 1910s, were produced by...
