    Scope and content

    Sub-series consists of 8x10 photographic negatives documenting a variety of commercial jobs. Arrangement is numerical. Until August, 1951, 8x10 negatives were numbered consecutively. Thereafter, negatives were given a number 8X-YYY, where 8 stood for 8x10 negative, X stood for the last digit of the year, and YYYY stood for the negative number. Beginning in 1980, the system was modified to the number 8XX-YYYY, where 8 stood for 8x10 negative, XX stood for the last two digits of the year, and YYYY stood for the negative number.
    Use indexes in AFC 450-1 to identify clients and job numbers, then consult archivist for access. Note that some of the pre-1947 items indexed under 8x10 are actually other formats found in sub-series AFC 450-S2-SS8.
