**Summary of synthesis**
- The **Gardiner Thesis Collection** (`@gardiner_thesis_collection`) is the unifying entity that brings together the discussion event, the essay document, and the TIFF image set.
- **Richard Gardiner** (`@gardner`) is the common author/creator across all three content types and is linked to the institution **Drexel University** and its location in **Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States**.
- The central **instrument** (`@obstetrical_forceps:instrument`) is the thematic anchor, appearing in the discussion, the essay, and the image collection, illustrating a consistent focus on obstetrical forceps across textual and visual materials.
- The metadata file (`@file_pinax`) serves as the descriptive record for the entire collection, while the `Thumbs.db` asset (`@file_thumbs_db`) is a peripheral image‑related file tied to the same collection.More versions available (pagination not yet implemented)
# Reorganization Summary The files were organized into three main groups based on their content and file type. The 'Obstetrical_Forceps_Discussion' group contains files with detailed discussions on the use of obstetrical forceps. The 'Historical_Medical_Records' group includes files that provide historical context on medical science. The 'TIFF_Images' group consists of high-resolution TIFF image files, likely scans of original documents. The 'Thumbs.db.ref.json' file was left ungrouped as it does not fit into any of the logical categories. ## Groups Created - **Obstetrical_Forceps_Discussion**: Files containing detailed discussions and historical context about the use of obstetrical forceps in midwifery. - **Historical_Medical_Records**: Files that provide historical context and records of medical science, particularly focusing on obstetrics and midwifery. - **TIFF_Images**: High-resolution TIFF image files, likely scans of original documents or pages from the thesis.
