Processing Information

The printed legacy catalogue the "Papers of Sir Professor Patrick Geddes" (1998) lists this item in both the Papers (Vol I) of the catalogue, and the Photographs (Vol II). In general (with occasional exceptions) the listing in the Papers (Vol I) does not refer to a physical item but refers to the use of a print from the negatives in a particular section of the "Cities and Town Planning" exhibition. In this new online catalogue (2020), to avoid duplicate listings and to mitigate confusion, these glass plate negatives and the related prints each are only listed once in the "Photographs for the Survey of Edinburgh" series (Coll-1167/B/26 - glass plate negatives; Coll-1167/B/27 photographic prints). Cross-references are documented in the catalogue descriptions where necessary.
