content: Due to its small size, this collection has been arranged into one series.  Box numbers in the finding aid container listing represent archival slide storage containers housed in one larger box.  Within each new container, groupings of slides are titled and arranged according to the handwritten labels found on the original slide boxes.  These groupings are listed as folders in the finding aid.

processinfo: label: Processing Information
content: The collection was minimally processed by Barbara Aikens in 2013.  

The goal for minimal-level processing at the Archives of American Art is to provide access to collections as quickly as possible while maintaining our high standards for arrangement, description and preservation. Generally, materials are minimally rearranged, existing folder titles are retained, and all materials are rehoused in acid-free folders and boxes. Staples and other fasteners are not removed, but materials are removed from binders or damaged binding when necessary.
