**8. Cross‑subdirectory synthesis – how the collection ties together the three source domains**
* **People** – The same faculty (e.g., @preston, @cleveland, @scarlett, @russell) appear as meeting attendees (1863), as signatories of financial reports (1864), and as committee members or examiners for student theses (1864).
* **Financial flow** – Decisions made in the 1863 meetings (e.g., the $447 distribution on Oct 12 1863) are reflected in the expenditure and treasurer reports produced at the 30th Annual Meeting (Jan 4 1864). Both sets of documents are catalogued in the collection.
* **Student progression** – Female students who presented theses in February 1864 (e.g., @amelia_longfellow, @betsey_dyson) are later tracked through ticket‑related examinations, graduation voting, and the final commencement ceremony (March 16 1864). The collection links thesis documents, examination events, and the graduation resolution.
* **Administrative continuity** – The dean (@erwin_freuler) and president (@e_h_chamberlain) who appear in the PINAX creator list also sign financial documents and preside over the annual meeting, demonstrating institutional continuity across the two years.
**Result:** The knowledge graph now captures a unified view of the 1863‑1864 faculty‑meeting ecosystem—people, meetings, financial decisions, student scholarly activity, and institutional milestones—showing how each sub‑directory contributes to the overarching collection.# Reorganization Summary The files were organized into logical groups based on their content, primarily focusing on faculty meetings, financial reports, and theses/examinations. The grouping was done by year (1863 and 1864) to maintain chronological order, and thematic groups were created for financial reports and theses/examinations to highlight specific types of content. Files without OCR content were assigned to groups based on their filenames and metadata. One file, 'a092_001_161.tif.ref.json', did not fit into any logical group and was placed in the ungrouped_files category. ## Groups Created - **Faculty_Meetings_1863**: Files containing records of faculty meetings held in 1863, including discussions on lectures, scholarships, and financial matters. - **Faculty_Meetings_1864**: Files containing records of faculty meetings held in 1864, including discussions on examinations, theses, and commencement preparations. - **Financial_Reports**: Files containing financial reports and expenditures related to the college. - **Theses_and_Examinations**: Files containing records of theses submitted by students and discussions related to examinations.
