General Notes

Note Type

Cataloging Note

Note

Transparencies arrived in plasticine enclosures and were numbered, presumably by the photographer. The transparencies were removed and put into polypropylene sleeves with the original number noted. Archivist has inquired of the donor if an index to the photos exists and will identify each photograph eventually. HCF's Hurricane Hugo Collection contains 8x10 B&W prints of Jack Boucher's photographs, of which some, many, or all of these transparencies may be duplicates.
