Notes

Items mounted on acidic "magnetic" photo album pages (with a wax surface and acetate topper) have been removed from the pages and placed in archival sheet protectors in the same locations in the binders. Originally, this material was in three binders. Removing the non-archival pages decreased the bulk of the pages to fit in two binders.
