content: Series 2 consists of materials from 1958-2004 and undated related to Chickering and Porterfield's still photography career. These materials include financial records, correspondence, inventories and captions of prints and slides, releases, and tear sheets (printed material used as proof of publication).

"Master lists" of slide inventories are in chronological order, generally grouped by Chickering and Porterfield's travel. Individual images are listed with descriptive captions. More background information can be found in their field logs, which cover trips from 1970-2002. Financial records include quarterly statements detailing purchasing company, slide subject, and price; tear sheets provide examples of their work as it appeared in print. Chickering and Porterfield also made a series of filmstrips for the Society for Visual Education, material for which can be found in Series 8.

Chickering and Porterfield worked with various stock photography and filmstrip companies to distribute and license their still photography. Materials were received assembled in tabbed binders divided by company, and has been maintained in this original order with original subseries divisions.

For more tear sheets and printed material, please see series 4. For material related to Chickering and Porterfield's umbrella company, Viewpoints, Inc., see series 5.1. For photographic prints, negatives, and slides, see series 9. 

This series is arranged in 2 subseries: 2.1 Company subject files, 1965-2004; 2.2 Releases, captions, and field logs, 1958-1996, undated.
