ABOUT THE FINDING AID  
Encoding: Finding aid encoded by Kate McNally, Digitization Archivist, 2018
Revisions:

15 October 2024: Item numbers .92-.103 have been removed from the collection, and reprocessed as the Rogers Case family photographs, to better preserve their provenance and separate context from the Hunter House collection. Changes to housing of fragile materials and the combination of two boxes into one box have also altered folder numbers and the extent information. Boxes 1 and 2 were combined into one box, and the oversized box was renumbered as Box 2 instead of constituting a separate numbering scheme as Oversized Box 1. In order to preserve citation information about the collection, the former numbering is also written on each folder. Item numbers for individual photographs, etc. remain the same, and so there is a numbering gap due to the removal of the Rogers Case Family Collection. All changes made by archivist Genna Duplisea.
