Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

Helen Balfour Morrison used two negative formats, 35 mm safety film and 4-by-5 inch nitrate, to record her Kentucky images. It appears that Morrison may have stored the films haphazardly, necessitating the imposition of order when the films were discovered over a half-century after they were taken. There are often gaps in the image numbers and the reconstruction of negative order is a best guess. The availability of a corresponding print image is noted. Titles in quotes refer to the title of the corresponding print.
