Additional Description

Arrangement

This collection is arranged alphabetically based on the original arrangement of the items. The original alphabetizing order of the collection has been retained. This means that items that might otherwize be alphabetized in a different fashion, show up as they do here. For example, The Pennsylvania Museum seems to have been originally sorted under 'A' for Art, and is thus in the 'A' folder. 40th and Market Streets Business Association was sorted under "F' instead of the number 40, and is thus in the 'F' folder. As this seems to be part of the orginial order, these discrepencies have been retained.
