Varied Subject Photographs and Drawings
- VC099
- Collection
This collection consists of 82 photographs and prints depicting various topics including notable persons, class photos, buildings and institutes. Many items have been relocated to other subject classified collections. The collection itself appears to have many items removed from other collections, chiefly RG01C. Many prints have handwritten notations in pencil on their versos of "RG1." It is likely, sometime in the 1960s when the archival collections were first created, that photographs were removed from RG01C as the collection was originally processed. However, there was no record made of their original location in the other collections. Sometime in the early 1980s these prints were assigned VC099 and numbered individually in no particular order, but based on their original housing. With no clear collection identity VC099 became a collection for photographs which were accessioned individually or found within files without clear provenance. Since the 1990s effort was made to reassign photographs to related collections or to collections with appropriate provenance as well as could be determined.
