Collection Arrangement
Pattern: Photographs are arranged chronologically by photographer's shooting assignment, referred to as a "Look-Job." A Look-Job may include any combination of b&w contact sheets of published and unpublished negatives as well as transparencies. A Look-Job may also include photocopies, made by Library of Congress staff, of color and b&w images published in the magazine. Only the published images have captions.
Pattern: The negatives (chiefly black-and-white) and transparencies are arranged by size and job number in series that begin with the code "L9". Sizes range from 35mm to 8x10 inches
