### Synthesis Highlights
- **Unified Collection:** The `@ellis_collection_1851` concept now **integrates** the medical treatment document (`@medical_treatment_content`) and the high‑resolution image set (`@high_resolution_images`), reflecting the dual nature of the PINAX metadata.
- **Cross‑Subdirectory Links:** The same `@file_pinax` metadata file appears in both the *Medical_Treatment_Content* and *High_Resolution_Images* subdirectories, serving as the bridge that ties together textual and visual materials.
- **Multi‑role Individual:** `@ellis` is identified both as the **author** of the medical text and the **photographer** of the image collection, demonstrating a single contributor’s impact across distinct content types.
- **Institutional Custody:** `@drexel_university` is explicitly linked as the **holder** of the entire collection, grounding the archive within its academic context.# Reorganization Summary The files were grouped based on their content type and purpose. The JSON files containing OCR text related to medical treatment were grouped together due to their thematic similarity. The high-resolution TIFF image files were grouped separately as they serve a distinct archival purpose. No files were left ungrouped as all could be logically categorized based on their content or metadata. ## Groups Created - **Medical_Treatment_Content**: Files containing text related to medical treatment advice, including symptoms, dietary recommendations, and general health practices. - **High_Resolution_Images**: High-resolution TIFF image files, likely used for detailed archival or printing purposes.
