**Narrative synthesis**
The **PINAX metadata file** (`@file_pinax`) acts as a single digital gateway to three distinct yet interrelated bodies of evidence from the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania:
1. **Session minutes** (`@session_1863_64:event`) documenting the academic calendar, lectures, faculty meetings, and the 1864 commencement.
2. **Faculty governance** (`@faculty_duties_and_regulations`) outlining duties of the Secretary, Treasurer, and Dean, and the procedural rules for faculty meetings.
3. **Resignation record** (`@resignation_resolution`) concerning Dr. Edwin Russell’s departure from the faculty.
All three are **authored or overseen by the same institution** (`@female_medical_college_of_pennsylvania`), stored together in the **collection entity** (`@fmcpa_1863_64_collection`), and referenced by the same PINAX file. This demonstrates how the college’s administrative, academic, and personnel histories are **interwoven** within a single archival package, enabling researchers to trace **institutional continuity** (faculty duties → meetings → session activities) and **personnel trajectories** (e.g., Dr. Edwin Russell’s resignation alongside routine session documentation).# Reorganization Summary The files were grouped based on their content and context. The primary organizational strategy was to categorize them by the events or topics they pertain to, such as the annual session of 1863-64, faculty duties and regulations, and the resignation of Dr. Edwin Russell. Files without OCR content were grouped based on their filenames and metadata, which were inferred to match the content of their corresponding OCR files. This approach ensures that each group is distinct and logically coherent, avoiding unnecessary duplication or meta-categories. ## Groups Created - **Session_1863-64_Minutes**: Files related to the annual session of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania for the year 1863-64, including meeting minutes and commencement details. - **Faculty_Duties_and_Regulations**: Files containing articles outlining the duties and regulations of the Faculty, including roles of the Secretary, Treasurer, and Dean. - **Dr_Edwin_Russell_Resignation**: Files related to the resignation of Dr. Edwin Russell from the faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, including resolutions and correspondence.
