Spanish term or phrase: cartulinas fotograficas
This is from a text describing a body of work by an Argentine photographer from the 70s. It seems, in the later section, to be a synonym for "contact sheet", but I am not sure. "Cartulina" is usually poster board:


Por otro lado, he creído conveniente incluir en este libro un anexo facsimilar de todos los contactos fotográficos del conjunto, que parecen salidos del túnel del tiempo, de lo profundo de nuestra historia: contactos de tiras recortadas y abrochadas a las cartulinas de diferentes colores tan típicas de los archivos administrativos de los años 60 y 70. Ni esas cartulinas decoloradas, manchadas con la acidez de su propia materia y anotadas de puño y letra de la autora en el mismo momento de su realización, ni los espacios vacíos en ellas son producto de una mala disposición o de una incorrecta distribución sobre la cartulina. En ese tiempo SF fotografiaba conjuntamente con XX; asistieron juntas a varios acontecimientos, y muchas veces intercambiaban el cuerpo de la cámara para poder usar una u otra óptica. … Cuando en 1985 decidieron separar la sociedad fotográfica, consideraron que lo más práctico era que cada una recortara sus propias imágenes de los negativos. En el caso de los contactos, XX recortó sus fotogramas, pero SF había diseñado y armado ese sistema de archivo, por lo que las cartulinas quedaron en su poder, con los “huecos” de los contactos de Alicia.

If not, I guess it is some sort of sheet that the contacts are pinned to?

Many thanks

To understand how Stieglitz opposed both industrialists and the “help,” one must know that it was Stieglitz himself who cared, deeply, about the quality of “a postal”—the unit of precut, inexpensive photographic cardstock offered by the Eastman Kodak Company.14 It was, in fact, with the postal that Stieglitz made his own .
