The images are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the person prominently featured. Descriptions were transcribed from original housing.
Images are described at the file level: each file contains a group of images and indicates how many images are in that group.

Images that were not scanned are listed as "Folder" and have one number for the entire file, with an E or SG in the number.
