Processing Information: For 2^nd accession: General correspondence stored in an accordion file were put in folders according to their original order. Because slides of the Great Northern Railway (including photographs on hardboard) are copies from the Minnesota Historical Society and because the slides of India are typical tourist images, we did not re-sleeve them and kept them in the original carton boxes (folders 15 and 16). Processed by Christopher Green in March 2018, supervised by Susanne Belovari.
