Additions are expected.
The acquisition date and source is unknown. The June 2025 accural was transferred from the office of Alumni Relations and Development in 2022.
The archivist removed duplicate digital documents, unsuccessful file transfers, empty digital folders, and digital files containing alum PII.
The collection includes two different arrangements for the paper and digital records. The paper records are arranged alphabetically by last name of the alum. For the digital files, the archivist maintained the original order of the files as received from the Alumnae Relations office, in which materials are in chronological groupings based on when the office was notified of an alum's death. Within these groupings, the records are organized alphabetically by the last name of the alum. The archivist placed the digital documents, at the highest directory level, into a new folder with a new file name. The archivist arranged this collection into the following two series: Series 1, Paper alum biographical files, is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the alum. Series 2, Digital obituaries received from Alumnae Relations Office, is arranged chronologically based on when the office was notified of an alum's death.
Alum Biographical Files, 1889-2022; Box and Folder; Barnard College Archives, Barnard Library, Barnard College.
In June 2025, Olivia Newsome processed a digital accural.
Permission to publish material from the collection must be requested from the Barnard College Archives. The Barnard College Archives approves permission to publish that which it physically owns; the responsibility to secure copyright permission rests with the patron.
This series, Digital obituaries received from Alumnae Relations Office, contains obitiuaries transferred from the Alum Relations Office from 2021 through 2022. This series also contains digital files.
To improve access to the collection, during reprocessing the archivist arranged the digital files into one series that aligns with the offices' internal organization, which is further organized into five sub-series. The collection is both physically and intellectually arranged in this collection guide according to these series. The subseries are arranged intellectually into chronological groupings that are the same upon receipt. Their contents are intellectually arranged alphabetically by last name. The arrangement of the collection is as follows:
