This question may be addressed to the wrong forum. If so, I apo- logize. Is it the usual procedure for museums serving county historical societies to remove all the photos from their albums then file them in manila folders holding the rest of their photo collection, sorted alphabetically for the surnames? And if the photo shows a location, to be placed in a file with the name of that location? The result is that the integrity of this particu- lar item, the album, is lost when it is torn apart. If the photos were instead kept together as a unit, there would be some hope of someday identifying the unidentified people in them.
