Processing Information
The AFRO Subjects series of the AFRO Morgue files has been processed in tandem with the morgue processing project that began in 2023. Material in this series brings together files formerly scattered across the morgue. In creating this arrangement, in some cases material once filed under an inidividual's name may be filed under a more general subject heading related to the AFRO program.
Processing of the AFRO Subjects series of the AFRO Morgue files is ongoing. As each subject is completed, metadata is added to the finding aid.
Sources consulted for the historical notes are cited at the subseries level.
