This series has been processed using accelerated processing procedures. Folders have been sorted alphabetically by folder title, metal printing plates (called cuts) have been removed, damaged folders have been replaced, and the content of thick folders has been divided into multiple folders for physical stabilization.

Remediation of the information describing each folder is limited for series processed using accelerated procedures. Folder titles have been checked against titles on the physical folders, and discrepancies have been resolved. Married women’s names have been added when the legacy metadata only contained their husband’s names, if the women’s names were found in the folder. Unlike series that have been processed to a detailed level, dates and document types are not added to folder records, and so for now, searches in these series cannot be limited to specific dates or document types.

For some large subjects, headings or subheadings have been added during processing to facilitate research. The content of folders that require no physical remediation during processing is not reviewed because the folders are not opened, so in those cases legacy description created prior to the processing project begun in 2023 has not been verified, though it has been preserved and labeled “Legacy Description.”

Researchers may discover errors and gaps in the description, or folders that need content warnings or notes about documents found in fragile condition. Archives staff welcome information to help us improve collection description.
