The Milhaupt Dabakey Colorama Studio Collection represents only a small portion of the photography of the studio, the largest share being personal and family photography not collected by the GRHSC department.

Other images of the type collected here exist, but have been distributed by Milhaupt to other institutions or clients. Such images may be found occasionally represented in the Colorama photographic prints, now being attached to this collection, or found within other archival collections in the GRHSC Archives.

John Milhaupt reports that the negatives with a corner cut off are those which were actually chosen for use and sent to a source for a story. Others were unused or duplicate images from the shoot. This does not necessarily rule out the reuse of the image another time, and the dates the image is given in the finding aid, though the most accurate available in most cases, probably does not match the actual use date.
