Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 3: Notebooks; Notes and Sketches on Architectural Ornaments and Inscriptions from Northern Syria, Iraq, and Iran (N-105)
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-105, related to the series he created for the notebooks, probably following Herzfeld's original organization.
