Processing Information

Photos in this file are preserved and stored in a variety of ways, including being wrapped in archival bond paper and standing upright in archival folders, placed in archival envelopes and standing upright in boxes, or in mylar sheets standing upright in folders. Bond paper, envelopes, and folders have dates written on them if information was available. These mixed preservation methods are due to limited resources of archival materials and project timeline concerns, which prioritized access and did not permit the selection of one method to preserve the massive quanitity of photos in the entire series. Future preservation work should consider reassembling photos within boxes according to best practices.
