E2: 35mm slides, 1958-2004, undated
Scope and Content of the collection
Approximately 12,000 35mm color slides and over 100 other photographic materials document George's teaching, historic preservation work, and professional interests. Subjects include copy work (including book illustrations, archival documentation, and architectural plans and drawings used in George's teaching and research), historic architecture in the United States, and travel and vacation photos from Europe, Asia, and Central America, with the bulk of the materials in Texas. The slides are maintained in their original binders as organized by George and are arranged into subseries reflecting George's two different filing systems: geographic (1958-1999, undated; approximately 9,200 items) and by frame number (1979-2004, approximately 3,000 items). A detailed finding aid to the geographically filed materials is available as an Excel spreadsheet. The index to the photo logs may be used in locating materials in filed by frame number; see Series E1: Photo Records.

General
Prior to August 1979, George filed slides geographically and then chronologically. Within Texas, George separated slides by region according to United States Geological Survey designations (provided in parentheses), and then ordered the regions alphabetically. For a key to the geographic regions, see Series A: Professional Papers. Roughly half of the slides in this series are documented and identified with labeling on the slide mount. A detailed finding aid and inventory of the materials in this subseries, available as an Excel spreadsheet, provides more fine-grained access to specific subjects and locations.
