Additional Description

Arrangement

The collection is arranged chronologically and by film roll sequence. The print and negative arrangement and numbering correlate to MacDougall's own careful record keeping system. Macdougall used this system to reference images and specimen numbers throughout his field books and correspondence. He used the Rolliflex notebooks, housed in the MacDougall manuscript collection to record photographic details and notes.
