Custodial History
There is no deed of gift and it is uncertain as to how the library acquired these photographs. The box they were stored in was sent to David Maloney in the Historic Preservation Office from the Quadrangle Development Corporation. There is no indication that either one of these organizations donated the images to the Library.
Processing Information
The images were removed from their original housing. Each image was assigned a number and placed in an individual polypropylene sleeve. The images were then placed in an acid-free folder and stored in an archival storage box for long-term storage. Negatives were assigned a number that directly corresponded to the print and placed in individual archival sleeves. Additionally, the collection name and some intellectual information was added to the sleeve. The negatives were then placed in an archival box and placed in the negative cabinet for long-term storage.
