    Arrangement note
    Arranged into 2 series: 1. U.S. Gardens 2. Foreign Gardens The original arrangement, which is maintained, consists of a two-part numbering system based on sequential (and chronological) rolls of film and the slides within each roll. Each roll was numbered sequentially by, presumably, Capt. McComb as were the slides within each roll (e.g. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, etc.) with gaps in the numbering sequences representing slides not included in the donation to the Smithsonian.
    Processing information note
    The Captain A.H. McComb, Jr. Collection was processed by AAG intern Bella Wenum in 2013.
