TO DO: BECAUSE OF TIME CONSTRAINTS, ONLY BIB. REFS. MADE and PHOTOS TAKEN unless small item which was transcribed directly. This means ALL BIB REFS. must be checked against photos and transcribed.

ADD BOLD to names in text, and add names and meeting particulars to this bib.

NOTE: Refs. mostly taken from index, but some found by chance – more thorough search will likely turn up more references, esp. to publications and meeetings

--No volume #s, only issue #s.

--Articles transcribed directly from the original journals at the V&A Art Library, although sometimes photographs have been made. When such is the case, the first words of each article will be transcribed in order to insure photos match bib. refs.

--There is an index – under “Photography”, technical subjects not copied.

--There are ads in each issue; these were very randomly checked as time permitted, but should be gone through thoroughly. Transcriptions were made of ads as they were found – they may, or may not have been published at other times.
