SERIES D: PHOTOGRAPHS [26 boxes]

 


Arrangement

Photographs are located in the SCPC Photograph Collection, filed under DG 58.
 

This series originally consisted of a number of scrapbooks and five photograph albums which had been given to SCPC by SANE in 1975. The scrapbooks have now been photocopied and are filed in Series A, Box 25. The photograph albums were dismantled and processed by a student assistant in July 1984. Photographs have been placed in individual enclosures and boxed according to size (8" x 10", 5" x 7", 4" x 5" and oversize). They are shelved with the SCPC Photograph Collection.

Many additional photographs were received with Acc. no. 91A-44. These have been placed in individual enclosures and identified if possible. Additional photographs, found scattered throughout the SANE collection, have been transferred to the SANE Photograph Collection and filed in the appropriate sequence.

The source of each photo is noted at the bottom right corner of the enclosure. This might be an accession number or a folder heading or a reference to one of the five photo albums which were labelled as follows:
"Some People of SANE"
"Vietnam Actions, 1964-1971"
"Eleanor Roosevelt Peace Awards, 1962-1974"
"Military and Nuclear Policy"
"SANE-sponsored Telethon for New York Peace Candidates,
October 1966 - Melvin Dubin, Ted Weiss, Jerome Wilson,
James Watson, Leslie Roberts"

SANE photographs are divided into two major groups: "People" and "Events." There is a great deal of overlap in these categories. If a specific individual is not contained in the "People" file, look for him/her in the "Events" file. Within the "People" file, photographs of individuals are arranged alphabetically. Group photographs are arranged by date, with undated photographs at the end. "Events" are also arranged by date, with unidentified and undated items at the end.

There are also some miscellaneous photos which do not fit into either of these categories. Some of these are filed by categories established by the SANE staff (e.g., "Photos of things"); others are identified simply as Miscellaneous.

Negatives have been kept separate from the photographs and are grouped together at the end of each size. If a negative for a photo is available, it will be noted in the bottom left corner of the enclosure.

Box 7 (8" x 10" photos) contains photos that were sent to SANE but are not of SANE-sponsored events. They were found in the SANE administrative files.
 
There are some SANE slides in the red notebook of slides shelved with the SCPC Photograph Collection. Additional slides and slide sets are shelved with SANE audiovisual materials (listed as Series O).
