This information includes the NAME, SUBJECT & CATEGORY of the activity of the person, DATE, PG & COL of the paper any any ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about the person or the article. The 3x5 cards are then put into machine readable form so that the final index may be printed out by a computer.

Beneath each name, is the geographical location of the person (if known). To the right of the name is the citation (pg-col-date) where the article appeared.
