Processing Information
This collection received a basic level of processing at the time that it was acquired by the library. Material has been rehoused in acid-free boxes and, when necessary, acid-free folders, and has been organized into series based on the way in which the collection was organized upon receipt by the library. Where feasible, material has been left in original folders and titles have been transcribed from original folders. Titles have not been verified against the contents of the folders in all cases. Otherwise, folder titles are supplied by staff during initial processing. Information included in the Description of Papers note and Collection Contents section is drawn from information supplied with the collection and from an initial survey of the contents.
This finding aid may be updated periodically to account for new acquisitions to the collection and/or revisions in arrangement and description.
