Custodial History note
Transferred from the Smithsonian central photographic laboratory in 1973. Considering the former interspersal of some of these negatives with photographs of skeletal remains in the several lots numbered 73-26, it is possible that the copy negatives relate to the collecting activities of Ales Hrdlicka.
