Access points:

•                Textual record (documentary form)

•                Graphic material – photograph (documentary form)

•                Cartographic material (documentary form)

Arrangement:

The photographs and documents, most of which are copies, were originally mounted on a series of 49 posterboard panels to form a display titled “A Blast From the Past,” which was created for the 2006 Blueberry Creek School Reunion. The photographs and documents were collected from various sources and the series also contains a brief list of some of the photograph donors. The boards were arranged by the Archivist according to topic and chronology and assigned a number, 1 to 49. The material was then removed from the panels for conservation reasons and numbered according to their original positions on the panels. Captions not attached to the photographs were transcribed onto the reverse of the image by the Archivist. Newspaper clippings were photocopied and the originals discarded. The teacher lists were maintained separately from the display and their original order has been maintained.
