Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in one collection and one series—Clinton Presidential Records: Photographs of the White House Photograph Office and the series therein— Photographs Relating to the Clinton Administration. Processing is done at the Folder/Contact sheet level. While this method maintains folder/contact sheet integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of photographs that are not wholly responsive to the subject area.
