Series Abstract
Entries are indexed in alphabetical order by Client's last name. If the client is not identifiable the field will remain blank. Entries without client names are sorted by Project Name and listed before those that provide client's names. Project names are supplied by the cataloger, as title blocks on the drawings prove to be inconsistent and many drawings are not labeled. Dates are offered if they can be derived from the drawings or gathered from other authoritative sources. The term “drawing” includes both original works (such as pencil on trace paper, or ink on tracing cloth) as well as copies (such as sepia prints, blueline prints, etc.).
