- Arrangement
- In the original arrangement of the Ernst Herzfeld Archive, Notebooks were included in a larger body of diverse material acknowledged by Ernst Herzfeld as his study collection. In the early 1970s, Joseph Upton, for research purpose, rearranged the collection and created a specific series (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 3: Notebooks, 1904-1946, 1957, n.d.) for 131 notebooks, including four ledgers and eight travel journals. Upton has given this notebook an accession number, N-39, related to the series he created for the notebooks, probably following Herzfeld's original organization.

- Scope and Contents
- - FSA A.6 03.039, on which Joseph Upton's classification mentions "N-39", provides ten water-colors of various sites in Iran. The late Karl Bergner was a highly gifted architectural draftsman who worked for Professor Herzfeld at Persepolis and subsequently for Dr. Erich Schmidt at Istakhr. He usually took a trip during his vacation. On one such trip in 1935 he painted these water-colors for his own pleasure.
