Although indexed, the slides have been stored out of original order, so that the order of the index is no longer accurate. An attempt has been made to match slides to labels, but some of the content is not obvious; some titles have been supplied by the encoder and some labels from the index did not have obvious matches amongst the slides. A list of unmatched labels appears at the end of the inventory.
