Arrangement
The films in this series were accessioned and processed in three groups: No. 1 through 184 were accessioned and arranged with the original accession; Nos. 185 through 236 were accessioned and arranged with the records received from the estate of Jane Grey Muskie. Films numbered 237 and higher were accessioned at later dates.
Films within the first two groups (1-184 and 185-236) are arranged chronologically, although both groups encompass the same time periods. Films in the third group were added as they were accessioned.
