Processing Information

Photos arrived in four boxes. After being put in chronological order, the photos were de-framed and filed in three manila folders by year. After filing, photos were scanned and added to the Archives database. One photo became glued to the inside of its glass casing, which made it impossible to remove without destroying it. It is preserved in its own fourth folder along with the glass it is glued to.
