Description
Summary
A large, unorganized collection of papers, writings, and material. The collection is in terrible condition and in need of conservation.
Generally handwritten and typed manuscripts, correspondence, and notes on stationery and typing paper. Most boxes extremely dirty and poorly housed. Black folders used are deteriorating badly. Folders often labeled with thematic topics. Some boxes showed signs of mold, and were set aside for inspection.
Arrangement
Boxes numbered sequentially. One through-shelf box--marked as #113--containing 2 os f-flat books. Boxes #110-112 are tall ms boxes.
