Processing Information
This collection was created 1991 to consolidate various Mexico-related artificial general file collections collected between the 1980s - 2000s. In 1991 the original general files were dissolved and the photos were arranged by subject. In 2014 the photos were re-arranged back into their original accessions within the umbrella collection of PICT 991-020. All collections had been numbered originally; most appear to be missing certain items. They were likely moved into other general files. Item numbers are often used multiple times within a collection for unknown reasons.
In 2017, a series was created for newly acquired material accessioned directly into this collection.
