Professor Fisher's papers contain slides that were taken by Fisher while in the USSR, China, Poland, and other Eastern European countries from 1945 to 1972. The slides are arranged chronologically by trips which were assigned letter codes (letters of the alphabet) including double letters; Fisher’s original paper film indices are filed at the beginning of the series. Upon transfer to the archives, slides which were not sorted or had been sorted for various presentations, were resorted to reflect Fisher’s original film indices. The series is arranged chronologically.The following spreadsheet provides an item level slide index to slides in Folder 4/Box 93 – Folder 28/Box 97 and is available for download from the Digital Library here
