MLA.I.G.2 David Goerz files 1897-1905


These files do not seem to be arranged either alphabetically or chronologically. The folder labels A-J probably derive from the divisions of the original antique file container in which they were originally found; they do not seem to indicate any arrangement, except that folder 8, H, contains print publications of The Helping Hand Series.
