Archive Notes

Date(s) Created: 1917-circa 1970 Date(s) Assembled: 1917-circa 1970 Archivist's Notes: On the temporary custody receipt Ms. Moker wrote in her description that there was a second grade class photo from 1958 in the collection. But, after going through the entire collection I couldn't find the photo. It's very likely that the photo wasn't actually included in the donation.

Condition

Overall Condition

Good

Notes

Everything is in good condition with only minor deterioration to some of the older photos. This is mainly due to age and possibly frequent exposure to bright lights. Some of the photos in the album have faded and the framed photo has darkened quite a bit. Other than that, there are no signs of serious damage.
