Re: Spanish language question
Lynn,
I think you are describing a "Colección" (an artificial collection); if
so, it would be similar to "Colección Carmen Conde", for instance,
or "Colección de Fotografías sobre la Guerra Civil".
If you are describing a natural grouping, I think you should
use "Fondo" (Fondo Carmen Conde, Fondo sobre la Guerra Civil)
