File consists of black and white duplicates of colour slides taken by Jensen. Colour printing was expensive at the time, so Jensen printed the images in black and white to use for research purposes.
These photographs were originally housed in a small box, filed by subjects. The photographs have been rehoused into archival sleeves, but the groupings and subject names have been retained. A note taped to the inside of this box read: "For info on these items - see photographic notes under ROLL NUMBER - i.e., R.43 = Roll 43/83 (number is year photo taken)." Many of these photographs are reproductions of images from archives and museums, with identifying information on back.
