Immediate Source of Acquisition
Mulitple departmental transfers received between 2001-2007.
Collection was heavily weeded and redescribed by Hillary Bober, Archivist, in 2016-2017. Some obvious series or groups of records were separated and accessioned or processed as a separate collections. At this time, contents of some of the remaining boxes were processed, while others were heavily weeded, possibly combined with other box contents to fill the box, and re-acccessioned. The original record was maintained and edited, resulting in a non-consecutive sequence of box numbers.
Collection was re-accessioned again in 2022 during the ArchivesSpace migration to incorporate a revised collection number and updated collection description per local usage guidelines for accession resource records. Boxes were renumbered to create a consecutive sequence.
See Index Note for a key to the box number changes; list also includes box description information transferred from Archon.
