Series IV: 35mm Slides
Scope and Contents
These records document the activities of the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club of Rochester, the oldest conservation group in the area. Included are booklets, correspondence, manuscripts, newsletters, and documents related to Rochester-area native flora and fauna. Also included are a variety of glass lantern slides and 35mm slides observing various wild plants, birds, and insects in varying stages of their life cycles. The lantern slides almost exclusively focus on different local bird species and their nests. Within the lantern slides are what seems to be different series of slides mixed in with one another. The previous original series order and list are currently unavailable and the slides have been put together in numerical order by slide.

Processing Information
In many cases, materials in the 35mm slide series are labeled on the slide, along with being included in a comprehensive inventory that came with the collection. Unfortunately, the information from the two sources is not always identical. The object titles given in this finding aid are an attempt to combine the information from both sources in order to provide a detailed description of each slide.
