Series notes:
Day to day indexes to negatives of photographs taken for the Mercury. Gives subject, description and negative number e.g. March 1947 - Negative Box No. 858 - Zinc Work picnic - at Long Beach.
It is important to know that not all of the negatives in this series were published, and some may have been published at a date later than taken, particularly if the negative was part of a longer-term feature story. Some photographers also indexed their negatives after the date they were taken.
The photographers' initials are noted in the index - e.g. LC is Len Carter
The first 2 indexes are harder to use; it wasn't until c. 1947 that they become more refined and work well.
