Processing Information
The collection was processed to a minimum level and a finding aid prepared by Catherine S. Gaines in 2013. Minimal processing included arrangement to the series, subseries, and folder levels. Generally, items within folders were simply verified with the original folder titles, but not arranged further. The collection was rehoused in archival containers and folders, but not all staples and clips were removed.
