All images were originally housed with the Washington D.C. Historic Image Collection (HIC). During preservation work on that collection it was decided to transfer these images to the Archives for long-term storage and preservation. Those images from the HIC often had a copy negative created for each image, and a sticker containing the negative number was then affixed to the image. The stickers will remain attached because their removal might cause irreversible damage to the image. The images are arranged alphabetically. 29 of the images contained a note stating they came from the “Evans Collection.” Through some research it was determined that the Evans Collection came to the library in November 1929 in conjunction with four National Rifle scrapbooks. Since all of these men were in uniform and most likely members of the National Rifles and originally donated together as one collection it was decided that the images should be returned to the National Rifle Collection, DC Community Archives Collection 051.
