System of Arrangement Records responsive to this FOIA request were found in the Vice Presidential records of the White House Photograph Office. The White House Photograph Office assigned each roll of 35 mm film a unique roll number. The roll numbers for the Vice Presidential photographs begin with “V” in order to distinguish them from the Presidential photographs taken by White House photographers during the administration. The office created a contact sheet for each roll of film and organized them in binders by film type (color or black and white) and roll number. The contact sheets responsive to this request are arranged by binder book number, and thereunder, by roll number. The Photograph Office left gaps in the roll numbers for unexplained reasons. Archival processing of photographs is done at the contact sheet level.
