Scope and Contents

McClintock applied alphanumeric numbers to the majority of his glass plate negatives.

Negatives from Summer 1903 were originally numbered 1-153, but were renumbered by library staff to 301-353. The other negatives retain McClintock original numbering with a prefix "G" applied to the number.

Library staff applied alphanumeric numbers with the prefix "GS-" to previously unnumbered or "supplemental" negatives.

A small group of previously undocumented glass negatives was also identified in 2011-2012.
