Language of Materials
English
Arrangement
Physically the folders are arranged by subject. Some file names and dates were changed to make them more meaningful and to correct errors. Material was rehoused into archival quality storage. Originally the Other University Of Maine Campuses record groups were stored in their own individual boxes, but the processing archivists consolidated the materials into two boxes to allow for space savings.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
Box 2 was transferred to Special Collections in 2006 from the Provost’s Office via Chris Hockensmith.
Appraisal
The processing archivist appraised the records and destroyed duplicate copies of publications.
Accruals
Accruals from the University of Maine at Augusta Bangor Campus are not anticipated because they have their own library for storing such material.
Processing Information
Box 1 was processed by Matthew Revitt and student worker Julia Haberstick July 2018 and Box 2 by Matthew Revitt in February 2020, Raymond H. Fogler Library Special Collections Department. Processing involved a collection survey and intellectual arrangement into series and the creation of this finding aid.
