Scope and Content Notes

The photographs of the Mayor Thomas Murphy Administration are contained in one document case and were arranged following the original organization and use of the papers in the Mayor's Office. In most cases, the photographs and papers are arranged based on the office which collected or created them. In other cases, items have been arranged due to their storage or use in the Mayor's Office, such as the Campaign and Topical files. The arrangement of the photographs is also identical to the paper materials of the collection (MSS 499), allowing users to reestablish connections between the two formats. Most of the photographs in this collection contain Mayor Murphy himself, although some photographs in the Neighborhoods Coordinator and Topical section simply document activities in the City of Pittsburgh.
