# Reorganization Summary The files were organized primarily by correspondent (Julia Martin, Elizabeth Strong, Edith Blunt, Julie Bredt) and secondarily by document type (wedding invitations, social invitations, calling cards). Special categories were created for photography business materials and family correspondence. This approach maintains consistency with the organizational guidance while accurately reflecting the content relationships. ## Groups Created - **Julia_Martin_Correspondence**: Letters from Julia Martin to Alice Austen, discussing social activities, personal updates, and mutual acquaintances - **Elizabeth_Strong_Correspondence**: Letters from Elizabeth B. Strong to Alice Austen, discussing social engagements and personal matters - **Edith_Blunt_Correspondence**: Letters from Edith E. Blunt describing travels in California and personal updates - **Julie_Bredt_Correspondence**: Letters from Julie Bredt discussing travel plans, social activities, and personal matters - **Wedding_Invitations**: Formal wedding invitations received by Alice Austen - **Social_Invitations**: Invitations to social events including dances and receptions - **Calling_Cards**: Victorian-era calling cards with social information - **Photography_Business**: Materials related to Alice Austen's photography business - **Family_Correspondence**: Letters from Alice Austen's family members
