The title, date, and address were provided by the Architecture and Construction Archive of the University of Puerto Rico (AACUPR). The file provided by the archive clarifies the following information: "Fotógrafo: Carol F. Jopling, estudiantes de arquitectura o Earth Watch Volunteers." On the back of the image, there are handwritten notes that read: "66 CAJ|0234|F0001." Also, there is a stamp that reads: "Print made by KODAK Oct 79." There are repeated photos of the same houses among the files of this collection because they document different photographic formats created for the research project led by Carol F.
