About the Finding Aid / Processing InformationColumbia University Libraries, Rare Book and Manuscript Library Processing InformationCataloged Christina Hilton Fenn 08/--/89. There are no boxes numbered 243-273 in the collection. It appears that these box numbers were originally assigned to individual computer tapes that are now housed together in boxes 238-242. When the collection was prepared to be sent to offsite storage, smaller boxes and volumes were housed together in larger cartons. This is reflected in the container list.
