Series Abstract: Entries are indexed in alphabetical order by Client's last name. Entries without client names are sorted by Project Name and listed before those that provide client's names. Project names are sometimes supplied by the archivist, as title blocks on the drawings prove to be inconsistent and many drawings are not labeled. An abbreviated version of the architect/firm name has been added by the repository to the beginning of each project number. |
