Arrangement:
In the original arrangement of the Ernst Herzfeld Archive, Notebooks were included in a larger body of diverse material acknowledged by Ernst Herzfeld as his study collection. In the early 1970s, Joseph Upton, for research purpose, rearranged the collection and created a specific series (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 3: Notebooks, 1904-1946, 1957, n.d.) for 131 notebooks, including four ledgers and eight travel journals. Upton has given this notebook an accession number, N-127, related to the series he created for the notebooks, probably following Herzfeld's original organization.

Notation by de Menasce reads "22 leaves, pages numbered from 1 to 44; on the cover "Corpus Inscriptionum Parthicarum" (this title does not correspond to the contents): the former title, almost erased, seems to have been "Pahlavi Inschriften a." The Inventory by de Menasce (N-128, No. 1) gives a page by page description of the contents of Album II consisting almost exclusively of Aramaic and Pahlavi inscriptions from Sarpul, Naqsh-i Rustam, Naqsh-i Rajab, Hajjiabad, Taq-i Bustān, etc. through that on the Mil-i Radkan."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-129, Album 4 reads, "Album IV. Notation by Prof. de Menasce reads: "The Paikuli Inscription, Parthian (Pahlavik) as published by E.H." Photographs of stones and blueprints of tracings. The following tracings have corrections by Herzfeld: A'11 (p.23), B'1 (p.24), B'11 (p.28), B'9 (p.29), C'1 (p.31), C'3 (p.34), C'4 (p.35), C'6 (p.36), C'9 (p.37), D'7 (p.41), E'7 (p.45), D'12 (p.46), E'14 (p.47), F'2 (p.49), G'3 (p.58), G'6 (p.60). The page numbers refer to the Album."
Arrangement:
In the original arrangement of the Ernst Herzfeld Archive, Notebooks were included in a larger body of diverse material acknowledged by Ernst Herzfeld as his study collection. In the early 1970s, Joseph Upton, for research purpose, rearranged the collection and created a specific series (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 3: Notebooks, 1904-1946, 1957, n.d.) for 131 notebooks, including four ledgers and eight travel journals. Upton has given this notebook an accession number, N-129, related to the series he created for the notebooks, probably following Herzfeld's original organization.
