Description

The Emler Collection consists largely of the work of Thomas B. McNeill Surveyors of Takoma Park spanning from the mid-1940s through the 1960s. This firm worked mainly in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties (some recent work performed by John Emler has been noted). Two card files form the basis for intellectual access into the project material. One index relates to 373 project files housed in 4 four-drawer filings cabinets; the second to approximately 900 oversized drawings within a map case. Additional map cases house hundreds of oversized hand-drawn plats, copies of plats, and photographs. Two filing cabinets files hold certificates for projects from the above mentioned counties.
