This website features many photograph collections. These collections are cataloged in order to provide attribution of the photography and to link to archival versions of the photographs which may be too large for internet presentation. The archival photographs have the same name except for a possible scale factor and different file type.
Photos are largely cataloged by their name as shown in:
date-prefix-number-description-scale.type
where date can be (using x as any digit 0-9):
- xxxx year
- xxxx-xxxx range of years
- xxxx-xx year and month
- xxxx-xx-xx year, month and day
- 0000 unknown year

- Loose prints [inconsistent should be 'dan-prints' or 'danp-']
- large 4"x5" negatives ['dan45-']
- 35mm negatives ['dan-35mm-' should be shorted to 'dan35-'] the serial number is in three parts: box-roll-item where box is the box number, roll is a roll number within a box and item is an image within the roll (but not necessarily the frame number).
