Bibliography
Processing Information
Processed by Matthew Revitt and student worker Abigayl Novak, March 2017, Raymond H. Fogler Library Special Collections Department. Processing involved a collection survey. Material was rehoused in appropriate archival folders and the boxes and folders numbered and titled added using information from ArchivesSpace. The material was originally housed across 5 boxes to separate the material alphabetically, but the processing archivist felt space savings could be made by consolidating the material into 3 boxes, while still retaining the original alphabetical order.
