Wisconsin Historical Society
Wisconsin Historical SocietyEric is correct. Describe the chart in brackets. In this case, the title of the chart is in the page, so that could be used. e.g., [Chart titled "Analysis of wheat of the State of New York; from Emmons' Agriculture of New York"]p.65Box 16, Folder 3: Grasses of Wisconsin 1854Increase A. Lapham Papers, 1825-1930

Wisconsin Historical SocietyDescribing the type of information in the list and context should be enough. In this example, something like [List of geological minerals and their general locations]p.1Box 15, Folder 6: Geological Survey 1873Increase A. Lapham Papers, 1825-1930
