Processing Information
This is a collection of photographs removed from the Tobacco Workers International Union (TWIU) archives (Acc. 77-7). These photographs were originally stored in the filing cabinets in the photograph area and have been inventoried and moved to boxes for easier access.
In 2023-2024, Rosemarie Fettig and Jasper Nash prepared a legacy inventory of the photographs collection for incorporation into the resource record using the ArchivesSpace import spreadsheet. Spelling and formatting were standardized, but content was not reviewed for accuracy and may contain inconsistencies. The photographs were arranged into eight subseries as established by the legacy inventory of Accession 1977-019.
